Efficacy of Unwinding Anxiety for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Randomized control trial of 65 individuals with moderate to severe anxiety (GAD-7 ≥ 10) testing the efficacy of app-delivered mindfulness training (MT).
Individuals were randomized to either receive treatment as usual or treatment as usual along with app-based MT through the Unwinding Anxiety app.
Those using Unwinding Anxiety were instructed to complete 30 modules over a 2-month period, and outcomes were assessed at the 1- and 2-month marks through self-reported online questionnaires.
Results:
- Participants in the Unwinding Anxiety group experienced a 67% reduction in anxiety symptoms (assessed via GAD-7) versus a 14% reduction within the control group.
- This finding demonstrates the clinical efficacy of mindfulness training as a digital therapeutic for individuals with anxiety, with a number needed to treat of 1.6.

Non-randomized pilot study of 34 physicians who worked in a large US health care network and reported having anxiety.
The aims of this study were to assess whether app-based mindfulness training (MT) can reduce anxiety in physicians and to explore if anxiety and burnout are correlated, thus leading to a reduction in both anxiety and burnout.
Results:
- Within a month of using the app, individuals reported approximately a 50% reduction in both anxiety and burnout.
- At three months, anxiety was reported to be 57% lower than at baseline.

Randomized clinical trial testing if app-based mindfulness training for anxiety could reduce worry and improve sleep.
Worry-related sleep disturbances, worry, non-reactivity, and anxiety were evaluated for the study.
Individuals reporting worry interfering with sleep were randomized to treatment as usual (n = 40) or treatment as usual + app-based mindfulness training (n = 40).
Results:
- Worry-related sleep disturbances decreased by 27% in the Unwinding Anxiety group compared to 6% in the treatment as usual group.
- At 4 months, the treatment as usual group reported a 29% reduction in worry-related sleep disturbances after beginning Unwinding Anxiety at 2 months.
- Results from this study demonstrate a mechanistic link between mindfulness training and increased emotional non-reactivity, decreased worry, and reduction in reported sleep disturbances, suggesting that app-based mindfulness training may be a viable option to help individuals who report that worry interferes with their sleep.

Among 9,430 Unwinding Anxiety members between January 2020 – February 2024:

73% of members who completed the first 7 modules reported a 23% reduction in anxiety.
