Summary

This study tests two internet-based therapy programs for adults with prolonged grief disorder. One combines online self-help with video sessions with a therapist; the other is self-guided with smartphone check-ins. Both aim to reduce grief symptoms compared to a waiting list. The trial involves 141 participants and lasts 8-12 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

internet-based therapy (GROw) with therapist videoconferencing or self-guided with smartphone support

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide effective, accessible online treatments for prolonged grief disorder, reducing symptoms without needing in-person visits.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small trial (141 participants) comparing two therapy formats to a waiting list, so results may not apply broadly. The treatments are behavioral, not a cure, and rely on participants' engagement and tech access.
