Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will develop an interactive computer-based version of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and compare its effectiveness to book-based CBT for the treatment of panic disorder.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Panic disorder (PD) is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition. Unfortunately, many people with PD go untreated because of the high cost and low availability of treatment. Research shows that CBT is an effective treatment for PD. When administered as a self-help, computer based treatment, CBT may provide a less expensive, more engaging treatment for PD.

Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive computer based treatment, book based treatment, or no treatment for 10 weeks. After these 10 weeks, symptoms of anxiety and depression will be measured with patient interviews, scales, and questionnaires.
