Brain stimulation for OCD after medicines didn’t work
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies a non-surgical brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) delivered to both sides of the brain for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may help those whose OCD has not improved after trying at least two different OCD medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of OCD

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (which uses a mild electrical current on the scalp) to see if it can reduce OCD symptoms. It is for people whose OCD has not improved with standard treatments.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) to see if it helps reduce OCD symptoms. It uses gentle electrical currents to target brain areas linked to OCD, and the researchers will also scan your brain to understand how it works.
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 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.
