Brain stimulation study for severe OCD symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can give informed consent and understand study steps
- You are age 22 to 75 and have a confirmed OCD diagnosis
- Your OCD has been present for at least 5 years and is severe or extreme
- You have tried at least two SSRI antidepressants (or clomipramine) plus added medications for OCD, and it did not help
- You have also tried exposure-and-response prevention therapy and, if available, TMS for OCD without enough benefit

This trial studies whether deep brain stimulation surgery—guided using special scans—can reduce severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. It may help people whose OCD has not improved enough with standard medicines and therapy.
This study tests whether implanting a small device deep in the brain—like a pacemaker for OCD—can help people whose severe OCD hasn't gotten better with standard medications and therapy.
This trial tests if deep brain stimulation (a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to adjust brain activity) can help people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that has not improved with other treatments. It is for adults aged 22 to 75 who have had OCD symptoms for over 5 years.
This study tests a treatment called deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with severe OCD that hasn't improved with standard therapies. DBS uses a device to send small electrical pulses to specific parts of the brain to help control symptoms.
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (a surgical implant that sends electrical pulses to part of your brain) can help people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that has not improved with standard treatments.
This trial studies deep brain stimulation (a surgically placed device that sends electrical signals) for people with OCD when medicines and therapy have not worked. The goal is to improve how precisely the treatment targets the brain to reduce OCD symptoms.
