Study of repetitive behaviors in OCD and Tourette syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at repetitive behaviors in people with OCD or Tourette syndrome. It uses MRI scans to understand the brain, and aims to help improve treatments for these conditions.

This study tests a therapy that combines two approaches—one for tics and one for OCD—to help people whose OCD feels like it's linked to tics. The goal is to see if this combined treatment reduces distressing urges and repetitive behaviors.
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.
This study tests a gentle type of brain stimulation, called tACS, combined with brain-wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve OCD symptoms. It's for adults with moderate-to-severe OCD who meet specific safety and health criteria.
This study is collecting information about people with severe Tourette syndrome who are not adequately helped by medication and may receive deep brain stimulation. It helps researchers understand outcomes and care patterns for this treatment over time using an observational database.
This study looks at brain activity and how sensory experiences feel in adults with Tourette syndrome. It compares you to carefully matched adults without neurologic or psychiatric conditions to understand what is different in the brain.
This study follows teens with chronic tic disorders (like Tourette syndrome) for a few years to understand how their symptoms and social life change. It also looks at brain signals using EEG, but you can join the main study even if you can't do the EEG part.
