Summary

This trial aims to measure brain responses in children with anxiety disorders to a psychosocial intervention, to see if it can reduce their reactivity to making mistakes & reduce anxiety.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking children aged 9-12 with an anxiety disorder such as generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or OCD. They must be able to stand unassisted for 15 minutes. Children with severe psychopathology, recent head injuries, significant medical conditions or disabilities that affect standing are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests a computerized intervention designed to reduce error sensitivity in anxious children by measuring changes in brain activity related to errors (ERN) and balance disturbances (balance N1). Half of the participants will receive this intervention while the other half will get a control computerized presentation on healthy lifestyle choices.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a psycho-social and computer-based intervention without medication involved, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be temporary increases in anxiety or discomfort during participation due to focusing on error sensitivity.
