Comparative effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for social anxiety disorder in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and network meta-analysis compares the effectiveness of various non-pharmacological interventions for adult social anxiety disorder, drawing on data from 104 randomized controlled trials. The authors rank cognitive behavioral therapy, combination therapy, and psychotherapy as among the more effective approaches based on SUCRA values, while noting that the overall certainty of evidence is predominantly low to moderate. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians seeking a synthesized overview of comparative efficacy across different treatment modalities.
