TMS for teens with OCD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help treat obsessive-compulsive disorder in adolescents aged 13-17. It aims to see if this treatment can reduce OCD symptoms when added to stable medications or therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 13 and 17 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and it is moderate to severe.
- You have been on the same medications or therapy for at least 8 weeks before starting, and can stay on them without changes during the study.
- You are an outpatient (not hospitalized).
- You can give your own agreement to participate, and a parent or guardian can give permission.
- You do not have certain other conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, seizure disorder, or metal implants in your head.

This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called TMS can help people with depression, anxiety, OCD, or schizophrenia. It aims to find better ways to target the treatment for each person's specific needs.
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 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 study tests a new type of brain stimulation called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) to see if it helps reduce OCD symptoms. It uses gentle electrical currents to target brain areas linked to OCD, and the researchers will also scan your brain to understand how it works.
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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (which uses a mild electrical current on the scalp) to see if it can reduce OCD symptoms. It is for people whose OCD has not improved with standard treatments.
