Online group cognitive behavioral therapy for adults with cystic fibrosis and their caregivers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial compares 13 weekly sessions of online group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with 13 weekly sessions of online group supportive psychotherapy for two populations: adults with cystic fibrosis and their caregivers. Participants are members of the Hellenic Cystic Fibrosis Association, aged 18–70, and will join groups via Zoom. Outcomes will include measures of depression, anxiety, functional recovery, and caregiver well‑being collected before and after the program. Both interventions are delivered in small groups on the same schedule to isolate the effect of the CBT content.
