Targeted brain stimulation for OCD with contamination symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized brain-stimulation approach to help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) focused on contamination worries. If you have the “contamination” type of OCD and meet the safety and medication rules, you may be able to join and see whether this targeted treatment reduces symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You’re age 18 to 55
- Your main diagnosis is OCD

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.
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 whether a quick form of magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help hospitalized patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who are also doing exposure and response prevention therapy.
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 trial explores how stem cells and innovative treatments might help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It includes people who respond well to medication and those who do not. The goal is to better understand OCD and find new ways to treat it.
This study tests whether combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with exposure therapy can help reduce OCD symptoms in young people aged 12-21. TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. The study aims to see if this combination is more effective than exposure therapy alone.
