Summary

This study looks at whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can reduce anxiety symptoms in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. About 123 adults will receive either real electroacupuncture, fake electroacupuncture, or no extra treatment, while all continue their usual anxiety medication. The main goal is to see if anxiety scores improve after 4 weeks, and brain scans will help explain how it works.
