First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether brain scans can help predict which adults with social anxiety disorder will benefit from group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

The goal is to better understand how the brain changes with treatment and who is most likely to improve.
