CBT therapy to help kids stop OCD medicine
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding structured talk therapy (CBT) can help some children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) reduce and potentially stop their OCD medicine. It’s designed for kids who are still having meaningful symptoms despite being on an OCD medication long enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 7 to 17 years old and has had OCD for more than 6 months.
- Your child has ongoing OCD symptoms: CY-BOCS is 16 or higher (a symptom score).
- Your child has been on a stable OCD “SRI” medicine for at least 12 weeks (examples: fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, clomipramine, citalopram, escitalopram) and the dose has been steady.
- Both you (a parent/guardian) and your child can speak English, and you both live in Texas.
- Your child is not currently in other OCD-specific therapy (no concurrent psychotherapy for OCD).
