Specific Phobias
tDCS-Augmented Exposure Therapy for Pathological Fear
This double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial aims to test whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can be used to modulate fear extinction learning during exposure therapy for pathological fear, including…

Specific Phobia
Enhancing Exposure Therapy for Snake and Spider Phobias
This study tests whether exposure therapy for fear of snakes or spiders is enhanced by the addition of a brief fear retrieval trial prior to treatment, and the use of compound extinction during treatment.
