NCT ID NCT07345117
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test an internet-based therapy program for people with emotional disorders like depression and anxiety. The program teaches skills to manage emotions and is designed to be used at home. Researchers want to see if it works well in primary care settings, if it is cost-effective, and if patients and doctors find it useful. About 200 adults with anxiety or depression will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Internet-based psychological intervention (UJI online transdiagnostic protocol)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a cost-effective, scalable online treatment option for depression and anxiety in primary care, reducing waiting lists and improving access to care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. The therapy is already known to be effective, so the main question is whether it works in real-world settings. Results may vary depending on how well patients and clinicians adopt the program.
