Locating Regions of Interest in Generalized Anxiety Disorder Using Function Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

NCT01607710 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 55

Last updated 2014-09-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators are seeking to locate the brain regions of interest in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) using both structural (sMRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The MRI will be used to measure changes in blood flow in the brain while at rest and while completing tasks designed to elicit symptoms of anxiety. Results from a nonclinical control group and a GAD group will be compared to determine whether they exhibit different areas of brain activity during the tasks.
