Study of OCD genes, proteins, and gut microbes
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at genes, blood/brain proteins, and gut microbes in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may help researchers understand what drives OCD and how treatments could be better tailored in the future.

This study follows people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) over time to better understand how the condition progresses and how people respond to different treatments. By joining, you help researchers learn more about OCD, which could improve future care for others.
This study uses brain imaging and thinking tasks to learn more about how the brain works in people with OCD compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to understand the differences to improve future treatments.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect OCD in children and teens. It tests a possible link between your gut, brain, and OCD symptoms.
This study looks at obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and young adults to better understand and document treatment and experiences. It may help researchers learn what supports work best for young people with OCD.
This study looks at brain signals to understand why OCD treatments may not work for some people. If you have OCD and are about to start OCD therapy, you may be invited to take part.
This research study uses a computer learning task to understand how the brain's decision-making areas work in people with OCD. It may help improve treatments by showing how your orbitofrontal cortex (a part of the brain involved in learning and choices) responds.
