Anxiety Disorder Clinical Trials

WHAT ARE THE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY DISORDER?

 

• EXCESSIVE WORRYING

Worrying is the most common symptom which people experience during anxiety disorder. It can occur in response to everyday situations and is not directly linked with the events. Excessive worrying becomes a sign of anxiety disorder when it reoccurs on most of the days for a period of at least six months and gets difficult to control.

• FEELING AGITATED

People with anxiety can feel agitated for some time, along with experiencing other symptoms such as shaking, sweating, and rapid heart rate, and might find it challenging to control these symptoms.

• RESTLESSNESS

It is also a common symptom, especially in teens and children. If someone experiences restlessness continuously for six months or more than it is a sign of anxiety.

• FATIGUE

Anxiety disorder is generally associated with hyperactivity, but people can also experience fatigue. Fatigue can either be followed by an anxiety attack, while in some cases, it can also be chronic and can also indicate other medical conditions. Fatigue alone cannot be used for diagnosing anxiety. 

• LACK OF CONCENTRATION

Some clinical research studies show that anxiety interrupts working memory, which is responsible for keeping short-term information. Like fatigue, difficulty concentrating can indicate other medical conditions and cannot be considered a single sign of detecting anxiety.

• IRRITABILITY

It is a common symptom of anxiety, and most people with an anxiety disorder usually feel irritated. During the peak of anxiety, people can even feel highly irritable.

• TENSE MUSCLES

Anxiety can cause the muscles to tense, or an entirely unknown factor can cause both tense muscles and anxiety. Several clinical trials show that treating tense muscles has helped to reduce excessive worrying in people who have a generalized anxiety disorder. 

• DIFFICULTY SLEEPING

Researches show that anxiety disorder and disturbances in sleep are linked. Insomnia and anxiety are strongly linked; however, it is uncertain whether anxiety causes insomnia or insomnia causes anxiety. The effective treatment of anxiety also improves insomnia.

• PANIC ATTACKS

Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder and is associated with panic attacks, which can also cause an intense feeling of fear. Panic attacks become a symptom of anxiety disorder when they occur unexpectedly and regularly.

• AVOIDING SOCIAL MEETINGS

If someone is continuously feeling anxious, worried, fearful of upcoming social events or situations, and tends to avoid social gathering, then it can be a sign of social anxiety disorder. It is common and usually develops early in life.

 

DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANXIETY DISORDER

• GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER

It is characterized by excessive worrying, tension, and chronic anxiety.

• OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER

In OCD, people perform certain actions repeatedly or experience unwanted thoughts and behaviors. People often repeat their actions, such as counting and washing hands. Repeating these actions only provides temporary relief.

• PANIC DISORDER

Panic disorder symptoms include sudden and repeated feelings of fear, along with physical symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, and heart palpitations.

• PTSD OR POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER

PTSD is common for people who have experienced a terrifying and traumatic event. It can include violent assaults, accidents, disasters, or military combats.

• SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER

Social Anxiety Disorder symptoms involve extreme self-consciousness and fear of social gatherings and events.

 

BENEFITS OF TAKING PART IN THE ANXIETY DISORDER CLINICAL RESEARCH TRIAL 

Participating in a clinical trial may not sound as appealing but has several substantial benefits:

 

• Clinical research trials help the enrolling participants to have a full understanding of their illness and how to treat it effectively. To effectively treat anxiety, it is essential to understand it, including the symptoms and types entirely. 

• Some anxiety trials are observational, while others include trying medicines that are not yet available to the general public. These medications are, however, declared safe to use after specific tests. The clinical trials usually test the effectiveness of the medicines.

• The participants are compensated for enrolling in clinical research trials, California, for anxiety.

• The participants enrolling in clinical research trials are not required to pay for medicines or any health checks.

• The participants enrolling in anxiety clinical trials can benefit others by participating in the assessment of the safety and efficiency of new medicines.

• The frequent medical checkups conducted at a clinical trial can help people with significant anxiety to closely monitor anxiety disorder treatment.
