Recruiting studies
- NCT04323566Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Rituximab for OCD or psychosis linked to immune inflammation
This trial tests rituximab (an immune system medicine) to see if it can reduce OCD symptoms and/or psychosis when there are signs the immune system may be involved. You may be considered if other standard psychiatric treatments have not helped enough and your illness seems relatively recent with possible inflammation clues.
UppsalaAges 18–55 - NCT04131829RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Brain scan study to predict fluoxetine response in OCD
This study looks at how brain networks change before and after starting fluoxetine (an SSRI antidepressant) in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It also compares these brain scan patterns with people without OCD to help predict who may respond to treatment.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–65 - NCT03918577Recruiting
Caloric stimulation to help thinking in OCD spectrum
This trial studies whether a gentle inner-ear stimulation can change how people experience troubling thoughts in OCD-spectrum conditions. If you have strongly held intrusive worries related to these conditions, the study may help see whether this approach can reduce their impact.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT03953014Recruiting
Genetic study of antidepressant side effects in young people
This trial studies whether genes (using a saliva sample) can help explain why some young people feel more “disinhibited” after taking antidepressants like SSRIs. If you’ve had depression, anxiety, or OCD and have used an SSRI, your information and genetics may help improve how antidepressants are chosen and monitored.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 6–17 - NCT07558148Recruiting
Low-intensity ultrasound for OCD symptom detection and relief
This study tests whether a wearable sleeve device using ultrasound can detect compulsive hand and arm movements in people with OCD, and whether the device can help reduce symptoms. You'll undergo MRI brain scans and wear the device during treatment sessions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT07135414Recruiting
Fast brain stimulation for OCD in the hospital
This study tests whether a quick form of magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help hospitalized patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who are also doing exposure and response prevention therapy.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–65 - NCT06941155Recruiting
Game-based app to retrain OCD thoughts: a trial
This study tests a fun, game-like mobile app that helps retrain your brain's automatic reactions to reduce OCD symptoms. You would use the app from home for 4 weeks, and it's designed to be a safe, easy addition to your routine.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07484750Recruiting
Mindfulness group therapy for OCD
This trial tests a type of group therapy that combines mindfulness with exposure techniques to help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) manage their symptoms. If you have OCD and are between 16 and 55 years old, you may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for obsessive-compulsive disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 104 recruiting obsessive-compulsive disorder studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a obsessive-compulsive disorder trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a obsessive-compulsive disorder trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
