NCT ID NCT05854602
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested three online training components for parents of anxious children aged 7-11. Parents learned to reduce accommodation, respond empathetically, or change unhelpful thoughts about their child's anxiety. The goal was to see which components, alone or combined, best lowered children's anxiety symptoms over 12 weeks.

What this could lead to
If effective, these components could provide simple, scalable ways for parents to help reduce their child's anxiety at home.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study comparing components, not a treatment trial. Effects may be small or not generalise to all families. No direct child treatment was given.
