An interventional study of Biofeedback and Muscle Relaxation in Panic Disorder, sponsored by Chimei Medical Center. Terminated at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-08-23.
Sponsored by Chimei Medical Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
From the scarce literature it showed that computer/internet-aided cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) was superior to waitlist and placebo assignment across outcome measures, and the effects of computer/internet-aided CBT were equal to therapist-delivered treatment across anxiety disorders. The aim of this study is to evidence the effectiveness of internet-based relaxation with biofeedback treatment for panic disorder.
All participants had access to a computer with an internet connection and received the treatment via internet.
