A study looking for markers of OCD through simple behavioral tasks
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks for biological signs (biomarkers) of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by having participants do simple behavioral tasks. The goal is to understand OCD better, which could lead to more tailored treatments in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses an EEG (a safe, painless cap that records brain activity) to look for unique brain patterns linked to habit behaviors in people with OCD. Participating could help researchers better understand OCD habits and improve future treatments.
This study looks at brain and thinking (cognitive) markers to understand why some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) don’t respond as well to treatment. If you have OCD, you may be asked to take tests and follow the study rules to help researchers better predict treatment resistance.
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 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 well a treatment approach works for children and teens (ages 5–18) who have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that is moderate to severe. It may help researchers find better ways to improve symptoms and daily functioning.
This study looks at how hormone changes and a specific OCD therapy method affect brain activity. It may help researchers understand why OCD symptoms and brain patterns differ between people and across time.
