Caloric stimulation to help thinking in OCD spectrum
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
