First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) for social anxiety disorder. One hundred adults with social anxiety will receive either real iTBS to the left or right prefrontal cortex, or a sham (fake) treatment, for one week. Researchers will track changes in anxiety symptoms and brain activity using EEG and questionnaires over 8 weeks to see if this approach can reduce social fear and avoidance.
