Accelerated tDCS for OCD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.

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 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 tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (tACS) to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help reduce OCD symptoms more than CBT alone. It is for adults with OCD who have not completed a full course of CBT before.
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 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 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.
