Overview

In a study of 80 people with panic disorder, those who received a specific type of therapy called panic control therapy (PCT) showed greater improvement than those who received standard treatment.

This highlights the importance of using evidence-based therapies in clinical settings.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: A Powerful Weapon Against Panic Disorder

Panic disorder, a debilitating condition characterized by recurring panic attacks, can significantly impact a person's quality of life. This study delves into the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in treating panic disorder, comparing it to treatment as usual (TAU) within a managed care setting.

The researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial involving 80 individuals diagnosed with panic disorder. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either CBT or TAU. The results demonstrate that CBT was significantly more effective than TAU in reducing symptoms of panic disorder and improving overall mental health. CBT led to greater levels of change in participants, with a higher proportion achieving clinically significant improvement.
