Study how the brain relates to impulsivity and compulsivity
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how brain function and structure relate to impulsive and compulsive behaviors. It may help researchers understand what drives these behaviors and who may benefit from future mental health treatments.

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.
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 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 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 trial studies a form of brain stimulation to help reduce severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. It may be an option if your OCD has not improved despite several standard treatments and therapy.
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.
