CBT and Kundalini yoga in generalized anxiety disorder

A number of non-pharmacological approaches have been compared in one study of patients with GAD.¹ The secondary outcome of 6-month response rate (CGI-I much improved or very much improved), was highest with CBT, which was significantly more effective than stress education therapy.¹ Although the response rate was higher with KY than SE the difference was not statistically significant. There were no other significant pairwise differences between treatment arms.¹
