Hormones and OCD treatment approach on the brain
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how hormone changes and a specific OCD therapy method affect brain activity. It may help researchers understand why OCD symptoms and brain patterns differ between people and across time.

This study looks at brain and thinking (cognitive) markers to understand why some people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) don’t respond as well to treatment. If you have OCD, you may be asked to take tests and follow the study rules to help researchers better predict treatment resistance.
This trial tests whether a paired type of at-home/off-site brain stimulation (tVNS) combined with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) can reduce OCD symptoms. It may help people with moderate-to-severe OCD who are willing to take part in the treatment and follow study rules.
This study tests a gentle type of brain stimulation, called tACS, combined with brain-wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve OCD symptoms. It's for adults with moderate-to-severe OCD who meet specific safety and health criteria.
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 how brain networks change before and after starting fluoxetine (an SSRI antidepressant) in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It also compares these brain scan patterns with people without OCD to help predict who may respond to treatment.
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.
