Study on Self-Talk for spider fears withdrawn before starting

NCT ID NCT06339463

First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026

Summary

This study was designed to test if a technique called self-distancing—where children use 'you' or their own name instead of 'I' when talking to themselves—helps them approach a feared spider during therapy. It planned to enroll children aged 7 to 12 with spider phobia and measure how close they could get to a spider and their fear levels. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
