Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant OCD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (TMS) that is timed to your brain's natural rhythms, targeting a part of the brain linked to OCD. It may help people whose OCD has not improved with standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your main diagnosis is OCD, and you've tried at least one therapy or medication for it that didn't work well.
- You do not have a current substance use problem (other than nicotine or caffeine).
- Your OCD symptoms are moderate to severe.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have no metal implants, history of seizures, or other reasons that would make brain stimulation unsafe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of noninvasive brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation for people with OCD. It may help reduce symptoms when standard medications have not worked well enough.
This study tests whether brain stimulation can improve cognitive control in people with OCD. It aims to understand if this approach can help reduce symptoms.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with OCD. You will get rTMS while having brain scans (PET and MRI) to see how it affects your symptoms. It's a chance to learn more about your OCD and possibly find relief.
This trial tests whether a brain implant, called responsive neurostimulation (RNS), can help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that has not improved with standard treatments. It is designed for adults who have tried multiple medications and therapy without success.
This study tests a fast-acting brain stimulation method (accelerated rTMS) for people whose obsessive-compulsive disorder has not improved enough with standard treatments. It aims to help those who still have moderate to severe symptoms despite trying multiple medications.
This study is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS to see if it can help people with OCD reduce their symptoms by practicing facing their fears (a process called extinction). The trial involves wearing a head cap that delivers a mild electrical current while doing computer exercises.
