Brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 50 years old
- Have a diagnosis of OCD and a moderately severe to severe symptom level
- Have tried at least two different SSRIs (a type of antidepressant) without enough relief, or be on a stable SSRI dose for at least 8 weeks
- Have completed at least 9 years of education
- Not have any other major mental health condition (except obsessive-compulsive personality disorder)

This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called accelerated tDCS (a gentle electrical current) added to your regular medication for OCD. The goal is to see if it can help reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
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.
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 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 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.
This trial tests deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment for people whose Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) has not improved with standard therapies. DBS involves implanting small electrodes in the brain to help regulate abnormal activity that may cause OCD symptoms.
