NCT ID NCT04191811
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether brain scans can predict how well people respond to internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) for depression, insomnia, and social anxiety. Researchers will scan the brains of 150 participants before they start 12 weeks of online therapy. The goal is to see if moment-to-moment brain activity is a better predictor of success than patient questionnaires. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, and aims to improve future treatment decisions.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a way to predict which patients will benefit most from internet-based therapy, saving time and resources.

This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The brain scan method may not prove useful in predicting outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.
