Brain and treatment response study for anxiety and OCD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain-related measurements to see how people with anxiety or OCD respond to a short, intensive clinic treatment. It may help researchers understand who benefits most and why, using optional brain-scan data in some participants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with OCD, panic disorder, or social anxiety (based on DSM-5 criteria).
- You were referred to the National Clinic for the 4-day treatment at Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen.

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 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 research study uses a computer learning task to understand how the brain's decision-making areas work in people with OCD. It may help improve treatments by showing how your orbitofrontal cortex (a part of the brain involved in learning and choices) responds.
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 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 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.
