The primary objective of this protocol is to implement the UG3 phase (Phase 1) of a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) UG3/UH3 grant (RFA-DA-23-049). This phase is dedicated to the pilot testing of NEAT-O, a digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program tailored for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) and concurrent anxiety or mood disorders - collectively referred to as internalizing disorders (INTDs). NEAT-O is based on an empirically supported CBT framework, specifically modified to address the complexities of comorbidity in substance use disorders (SUDs). This pilot study will evaluate the usability and acceptability of NEAT-O in 15 participants with OUD, with the goal of refining the program\'s content and delivery methods. The results of the pilot study will inform a comprehensive RCT in the UH3 Phase (Phase 2) (N=300). Progression to the UH3 phase, with its funding, depends on meeting milestones in Phase 1 including demonstrating protocol adherence and the program\'s acceptability and usability.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's dementia. Anxiety in PD is common, has major effects on quality of life and contributes to increased disability. The reported prevalence of anxiety in PD ranges widely and is estimated up to 40%. Treatment with oral medications is not always effective or tolerated. TMS has been shown to be effective and safe in anxiety and general anxiety disorder (GAD), but there is only limited data available for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment of anxiety in PD. Area 8Av is a parcellation based on Human connectome project within the left prefrontal cortex and is associated with GAD. Given the area's associations with mood disorders, its functional connectivity with large-scale brain networks involved in PD, and its anatomical accessibility by TMS, this may be an important target for anxiety in PD.

This project is designed to determine if a computer-delivered cognitive-behavioral treatment can improve the otherwise poor alcohol use disorder treatment outcomes for individuals with a co-occurring anxiety disorder. In the past, the investigators showed that this treatment does improve outcomes for these individuals when delivered by a therapist. If the present work shows that the computer-delivered version is also effective, it would provide an inexpensive program with virtually unlimited scalability to enable access to the treatment by many more individuals than is currently the case.

Music Therapy for ICU Delirium

Rochester, Minnesota
Critically ill older adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at a higher risk to develop delirium, which predisposes them to longer lengths of ICU and hospital stay, increased in-patient mortality, and higher risk of new acquired cognitive impairment and dementia. Music listening is a non-pharmacological intervention that holds potential to decrease ICU delirium. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a seven-day slow-tempo music intervention on the primary outcome of delirium/coma free days among mechanically ventilated, critically ill older adults.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

"I’ve been having a lot of anxiety and memory fog. I had a baby 18 months ago, and my pregnancy was very hard. During that time, I was prescribed sertraline because it was the safest option during pregnancy. It had bad side effects. Since I had my baby, I've tried another drug, but I haven't really improved. It often feels like my head isn’t 100% here. I need to be fully myself because I have two kids to take care of, and I also want to go back to school. With my mind like this, I won’t be able to do it. Hoping for a new option."

OR
Anxiety PatientAge: 40

"I've tried several medications and therapy over the years but the symptoms persist. Have heard some extremely good things about psilocybin treatment. Interested in at least trying it. I don't want to reach my breaking point."

QC
Anxiety PatientAge: 60

"I would love to find a cure for my depression I am tired of trying so many different medications and nothing has worked for all these years also I could use the compensation"

CU

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Anxiety clinical trials in Minnesota pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Anxiety clinical trials in Minnesota work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Anxiety trials in Minnesota 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Minnesota for Anxiety is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Minnesota several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Anxiety medical study in Minnesota?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Anxiety clinical trials in Minnesota?

Most recently, we added Safe and Sound Protocol for Depression and Anxiety, NEAT-O Program for Opioid Use Disorder and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease to the Power online platform.

What is the best fix for anxiety?

There isn’t one magic “fix” for anxiety, but studies show that most people improve with either cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and/or daily medication such as an SSRI or SNRI, chosen together with a qualified clinician. Adding regular exercise, mindfulness or breathing practice, good sleep and limiting caffeine or alcohol can boost results, so think of treatment as a toolbox—start with proven professional help (therapy and possibly medicine) and layer the healthy habits on top for longer-term control.

What does 333 mean for anxiety?

“333” is a fast grounding trick for sudden anxiety: look around and name three things you see, notice three sounds, then deliberately move three body parts (for example, roll your shoulders, wiggle your toes, stretch your fingers). Focusing on simple sights, sounds, and movements pulls your attention out of racing thoughts and signals your nervous system that you’re safe, which can ease the physical surge of anxiety for a few moments. Use it as a quick reset; if anxiety keeps returning or interferes with daily life, add longer-term strategies like CBT, exercise, or speaking with a healthcare professional.

Do anxiety bracelets really work?

Bracelets made of magnets, copper, crystals, or “negative ions” have not been proven to calm anxiety, but a band can still help if you use it as a cue to do something that does work—e.g., press an acupressure point, follow a paced-breathing vibration, or ground yourself with a quick mindfulness check (small studies of these techniques show temporary relief). In other words, the bracelet is a prompt, not the treatment; for lasting improvement pair that prompt with evidence-based care such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation training, or medication discussed with a healthcare professional.

Does gabapentin treat anxiety?

Gabapentin isn’t FDA-approved for any anxiety disorder, but doctors sometimes prescribe it “off-label” when standard options (talk therapy, SSRIs/SNRIs, or—short term—benzodiazepines) haven’t worked or can’t be used. Small studies suggest it can ease social or short-term situational anxiety at doses of about 900–2,400 mg a day, yet the evidence is modest and it can cause sleepiness, dizziness, and withdrawal if stopped abruptly. If you’re considering it, discuss with your clinician how its uncertain benefits, side-effects, and need for slow tapering stack up against better-studied treatments and non-drug approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy.

What is the FDA approved device for anxiety?

Strictly speaking, the FDA has not “approved” any device just for anxiety; rather, it has cleared several prescription-only cranial electrotherapy stimulators (CES) through its 510-k process—including Alpha-Stim AID, Fisher-Wallace Stimulator, and Cervella—for short-term relief of anxiety (often along with insomnia or depression). These devices send a very mild electrical current through clips on the earlobes for about 20–60 minutes a day over several weeks, and their use should be discussed with a healthcare professional to be sure they’re safe and appropriate for you.

What drug is used in rapid relief of anxiety?

For symptoms that need relief within minutes to an hour, doctors usually prescribe a short-acting benzodiazepine such as lorazepam or alprazolam; these calm the nervous system quickly but can cause drowsiness and, with repeated use, dependence, so they are meant for short-term or “as-needed” use. Other fast options include the antihistamine hydroxyzine (works in ~30 min) or propranolol for one-time performance anxiety, while longer-term control is handled with medicines like SSRIs and therapy.

What are the 4 R's of anxiety?

Professionals usually mean one of two quick, four-step loops: 1) Recognize the anxious thought or body cue, Reassure yourself with realistic facts, Relax with slow breathing, then Refocus on your task; or 2) Relabel the thought as “just anxiety,” Re-attribute it to a misfiring alarm, Refocus on a chosen activity for a few minutes, and Re-value the thought as unimportant noise. Some wellness articles cite Rest, Relaxation, Replenish, Release, but that version is a general self-care checklist, not an in-the-moment anxiety technique.

What is intense therapy for anxiety?

“Intensive” therapy for anxiety is the same proven treatments (like CBT and exposure exercises) delivered in a much bigger dose—several hours a day for a short stretch—through formats such as weekend “boot-camps,” 3–5-day-a-week intensive outpatient programs, or brief residential stays. This immersive approach is used when anxiety is severe, hasn’t improved with weekly sessions, or rapid progress is needed, and studies show it can match or outperform standard once-a-week therapy. To explore it, ask your provider or insurer about clinics that offer “intensive CBT/ERP,” “IOP,” or “PHP” programs run by licensed anxiety specialists.

Can I live a long life with anxiety?

Yes. Large studies show that untreated, severe anxiety can slightly raise the risk of early death—mainly by increasing suicide risk and unhealthy behaviors—but the effect is small and is greatly reduced when the condition is recognized and treated. People who get evidence-based care (therapy, possible medication), stay active, avoid smoking/drugs, and keep regular medical check-ups typically live just as long as those without anxiety, so focusing on treatment and healthy routines is the key to a long life.

What is the 5 4 3 2 1 anxiety trick?

The 5-4-3-2-1 “grounding” trick is a rapid way to pull your mind out of racing thoughts: name five things you can see, four you can touch, three you hear, two you smell, and one you can taste, taking slow breaths as you go. Engaging each sense crowds out worry signals and anchors you in the present; repeat or shorten the list any time a panic spike or rumination hits. It’s a quick coping tool—helpful in the moment—but if anxiety is frequent or disabling, pair it with ongoing care from a mental-health professional.
