Calming Minds Study (NCT07577401)

Understanding the Mechanisms Driving the Reduction of Repetitive Negative Thought

๐ŸŸก Not Yet Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this study is to understand why certain treatments help people reduce repetitive negative thinking (RNT), which is common in many mental health problems. We want to: 1. Figure out what actually causes repetitive negative thinking to decrease when people use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). 2. Find out which parts of RNT-focused CBT are the most important - the parts that truly make a difference in reducing RNT. The main result we will look at is how much a person's repetitive negative thought patterns change from the start of the study to the end of treatment (16 weeks). We will measure this using the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire at baseline and week 16.
