Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of metacognitive therapy for health anxiety: A pilot RCT
Overview
This pilot randomized controlled trial assesses the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of metacognitive therapy (MCT) for health anxiety, comparing it to a waitlist control. The study reports high acceptability, no adverse events, and large effect sizes favoring MCT on primary outcome measures among twenty participants. It concludes that MCT is feasible for this population and suggests future trials should compare it against active treatments like CBT or medication.
