Brain functional connectivity and anatomical features as predictors of cognitive behavioral therapy outcome for anxiety in youths
Because pediatric anxiety disorders precede the onset of many other problems, successful prediction of response to the first-line treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), could have a major impact. This study evaluates whether structural and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging can predict post-CBT anxiety symptoms.
Two datasets were studied: (A) one consisted of
= 54 subjects with an anxiety diagnosis, who received 12 weeks of CBT, and (B) one consisted of
= 15 subjects treated for 8 weeks. Connectome predictive modeling (CPM) was used to predict treatment response, as assessed with the PARS. The main analysis included network edges positively correlated with treatment outcome and age, sex, and baseline anxiety severity as predictors. Results from alternative models and analyses are also presented. Model assessments utilized 1000 bootstraps, resulting in a 95% CI for
,
, and mean absolute error (MAE).
The main model showed a MAE of approximately 3.5 (95% CI: [3.1-3.8]) points, an
of 0.08 [-0.14-0.26], and an
of 0.38 [0.24-0.511]. When testing this model in the left-out sample (B), the results were similar, with an MAE of 3.4 [2.8-4.7],
-0.65 [-2.29-0.16], and
of 0.4 [0.24-0.54]. The anatomical metrics showed a similar pattern, where models rendered overall low
.
The analysis showed that models based on earlier promising results failed to predict clinical outcomes. Despite the small sample size, this study does not support the extensive use of CPM to predict outcomes in pediatric anxiety.

A Systematic Review of Treatments for Anxiety in Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders
This study systematically examined the efficacy and safety of psychopharmacological and non-psychopharmacological treatments for anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Four psychopharmacological, nine cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and two alternative treatment studies met inclusion criteria. Psychopharmacological studies were descriptive or open label, sometimes did not specify the anxiety phenotype, and reported behavioral activation. Citalopram and buspirone yielded some improvement, whereas fluvoxamine did not. Non-psychopharmacological studies were mainly randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with CBT demonstrating moderate efficacy for anxiety disorders in youth with high functioning ASD. Deep pressure and neurofeedback provided some benefit. All studies were short-term and included small sample sizes. Large scale and long term RCTs examining psychopharmacological and non-psychopharmacological treatments are sorely needed.

Effects of Virtual Reality–Based Interventions on Preoperative Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery With Anesthesia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Preoperative anxiety is a common yet often neglected problem for patients undergoing surgery. Virtual reality (VR)-based intervention is a promising alternative with benefits for managing preoperative anxiety. However, the components of VR-based intervention and its effectiveness on preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing elective surgery with anesthesia remain unclear.
This study aimed to identify the major components (ie, device, medium, format, and duration) of VR-based interventions and summarize evidence regarding their effectiveness in reducing preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing elective surgery with anesthesia.
Allied and Complementary Medicine, Chinese University of Hong Kong Full Text Journals, CINAHL via EBSCOhost, Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute EBP Database, EMBASE, MEDLINE via OvidSP, PubMed, PsychINFO, Scopus, China Journal Net, and WanFang Data Chinese Dissertations Database were searched from inception to February 2025. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of VR-based interventions for patients undergoing elective surgery with anesthesia were included. The Cochrane Collaboration's tool was used for risk of bias assessment. A random effect model was used for pooling the results.
A total of 35 RCTs with 3341 patients (female: n=1474, 44.1%) were included in this review, of which 29 RCTs were included for meta-analysis. Compared with usual care, VR-based interventions showed substantial benefits in decreasing preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing elective surgery (standardized mean difference [SMD] 0.65, 95% CI 0.37-0.92; P<.001). Regarding the subgroup analysis, VR-based intervention showed significant but moderate effects on preoperative anxiety in the pediatric population (SMD 0.77, 95% CI 0.32-1.22; P<.001) compared to the adult population (SMD 0.58, 95% CI 0.23-0.93; P=.001). The distraction approach showed more significant effects (SMD 0.73, 95% CI 0.24-1.21; P=.004) on preoperative anxiety than the exposure approach (SMD 0.61, 95% CI 0.27-0.95; P<.001).
Patients undergoing elective surgery with anesthesia may benefit from VR as a novel alternative to reduce preoperative anxiety, especially pediatric patients via the distraction approach. However, more rigorous research is needed to confirm VR's effectiveness.
