Brief intermittent intense exercise as interoceptive exposure for panic disorder: a randomized controlled clinical trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates brief intermittent intense exercise as an interoceptive exposure strategy for panic disorder in treatment-free adults. The study compares a 12-week supervised walking and sprinting program against Jacobson’s relaxation training, measuring outcomes via the Panic Agoraphobia Scale and other clinical metrics over 24 weeks. It is designed for researchers and clinicians interested in evidence-based comparisons of exercise-based interventions versus traditional relaxation techniques for panic disorder.
