This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with severe, long-lasting obsessive-compulsive disorder that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if symptoms can be triggered and then reduced.
This study tests a fast-acting brain stimulation method (accelerated rTMS) for people whose obsessive-compulsive disorder has not improved enough with standard treatments. It aims to help those who still have moderate to severe symptoms despite trying multiple medications.
This trial tests whether deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in people who haven't improved enough with standard treatments like medication or therapy.
This study tests a new way of using brain stimulation (TMS) to improve OCD symptoms. It may help if standard treatments haven't worked well enough for you.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with talk therapy can help people with OCD. It involves daily visits for 6 weeks and is for those who have already tried ERP therapy and SRI medication.
This trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with facing your fears can help people with hard-to-treat OCD. If you've tried multiple treatments without relief, this study may offer a new option.
