Summary

This study is testing a self-guided internet program called Velibra for people with panic disorder, social anxiety, or generalized anxiety disorder who are on a waitlist for treatment. The program uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques over six weeks. Researchers want to see if it can reduce anxiety symptoms and improve well-being.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Velibra (online cognitive behavioral therapy program)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide an effective, accessible treatment option for people with anxiety disorders who are currently waiting for therapy.
What could go wrong: This is a very small early study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program is self-guided, so some people may not complete it or benefit as much as with therapist-led therapy.
