A game-like tool to boost exposure therapy for OCD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a game-like digital tool designed to make exposure therapy (a common treatment for OCD) more effective. Participants will be either clinicians using the tool in their practice or adults without OCD symptoms who serve as a comparison group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be either a clinician (like a therapist) or an adult without any symptoms of OCD or phobias.

- If you're a clinician, you'll be using a game-like tool as part of your work with exposure therapy.
