Study how brain stimulation affects OCD or bipolar behavior
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific kind of deep brain stimulation (DBS) may change behavior and brain activity in people with OCD or bipolar disorder (BD). It includes visits both at the study site and in your home to better understand these effects in real-life settings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You agree to do study tasks both at the clinic and at home
- Your DBS system is planned to use a rechargeable DBS generator

This trial studies whether placing a deep brain stimulation device can reduce symptoms in people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who did not improve with several standard treatments. It may help when medications and therapy have not worked well enough.
This study looks at how the brain processes approach and avoidance in people with severe OCD that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to understand brain patterns that could help guide a future treatment called deep brain stimulation (DBS).
This trial tests deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment for people whose Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has not improved with standard therapies. DBS involves implanting small electrodes in the brain to help regulate abnormal activity that may cause OCD symptoms.
This study tests a deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment device for adults with severe, long-lasting obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that has not improved with standard treatments. It may help reduce OCD symptoms and improve daily functioning when medications and therapy have not worked.
This trial tests a new type of noninvasive brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation for people with OCD. It may help reduce symptoms when standard medications have not worked well enough.
This trial tests a treatment called deep brain stimulation (DBS) for OCD that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Small electrodes are placed in specific brain areas to see if they can reduce severe OCD symptoms.
