NCT ID NCT07370038
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if a new therapy called the Unified Protocol for Burnout (UP-B) is practical and acceptable for people suffering from clinical burnout. Researchers will enroll 24 adults with moderate to severe burnout to try the therapy and provide feedback. The goal is to gather initial evidence on whether this approach can reduce burnout, anxiety, and depression while improving overall well-being.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must score above the moderate burnout threshold on the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) to be considered eligible. Those who meet this cutoff will subsequently undergo a structured clinical interview to verify the presence of clinical burnout symptoms.

To be considered eligible for the study, the cause of symptoms must be burnout. Exclusion Criteria: * Current engagement in psychotherapy, defined as receiving ongoing psychological treatment at the time of screening; * Current use of psychotropic medication (e.g., antidepressants, anxiolytics, mood stabilizers); * Presence of a diagnosed personality disorder and as determined by the clinical interview; * Presence of a psychiatric disorder; * Presence or history of a psychotic disorder; * Suicidal ideation, as assessed through the clinical interview.
