The Efficacy of an AI-Based Rehabilitation Treatment in Patients With Anxiety Disorders

A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol Testing the Efficacy of an AI-Based Rehabilitation Treatment in Patients With Anxiety Disorders

The trail aimed to test the efficacy of AI-based rehabilitation treatment in patients with anxiety disorders. Specifically, the objective of this trial is to determine whether the AI-based rehabilitation combined with treatment as usual is more effective than treatment as usual alone in improving outcomes in patients with anxiety disorders.

This study aims to evaluate an AI-based rehabilitation system for delivering psychological intervention to patients with anxiety disorders. A randomized controlled single-blind trial design was employed to compare the clinical outcomes between patients receiving AI-based rehabilitation treatment combined with standard treatment and those receiving standard treatment alone, in order to evaluate the efficacy of the AI-based rehabilitation system. Additionally, system usability and acceptability will be assessed in the intervention group using standardized scales, evaluating ease of use, task efficiency, interaction quality, and overall user satisfaction, thereby providing evidence to support the clinical integration of AI technology in mental health interventions.
