Brain and thinking tests to study OCD treatment resistance
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are able to understand and agree to follow the study rules
- You have health insurance coverage (or are linked to a health insurance scheme)
- You do not have schizophrenia or a current substance use disorder
- You are not pregnant, and if you could become pregnant you use effective birth control

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 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 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 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 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 brain signals to understand why OCD treatments may not work for some people. If you have OCD and are about to start OCD therapy, you may be invited to take part.
