NCT ID NCT07088939
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether an online, self-guided dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) course is practical and helpful for adults with mild-to-moderate depression or anxiety. Up to 40 participants will take the 8-week course, which teaches skills like mindfulness and emotion regulation. Researchers will measure how acceptable and usable the course is, and whether it improves symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dialectical behavior therapy (online self-guided course)
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could provide a convenient, low-cost online option for people with mild-to-moderate depression or anxiety to learn coping skills.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The self-guided format may not work for everyone, and dropouts are possible.
