Improving OCD treatment with brain stimulation
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of using brain stimulation (TMS) to improve OCD symptoms. It may help if standard treatments haven't worked well enough for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with OCD by a doctor.
- You can speak and understand English or Portuguese.
- You do not have metal or electronic implants in your body (like a pacemaker or brain stimulator).
- You have not had TMS therapy for OCD before.

This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—which uses magnetic pulses to activate brain cells—can help people with OCD whose symptoms haven't improved with medication. Researchers will also look at brain activity patterns to understand who benefits most.
This trial tests whether deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in people who haven't improved enough with standard treatments like medication or therapy.
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 study tests whether combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with exposure therapy can help reduce OCD symptoms in young people aged 12-21. TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. The study aims to see if this combination is more effective than exposure therapy alone.
This trial studies a non-surgical brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) delivered to both sides of the brain for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may help those whose OCD has not improved after trying at least two different OCD medicines.
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.
