Fast brain stimulation for OCD in the hospital
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a quick form of magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help hospitalized patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who are also doing exposure and response prevention therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are currently hospitalized for OCD treatment.
- You are taking part in exposure and response prevention therapy.
- Your OCD symptoms are moderate to severe (score of 20 or higher on a standard OCD scale).
- You do not have suicidal thoughts, an active psychotic disorder, or a current substance use problem.
- You do not have a deep brain stimulation device for OCD.

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 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 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.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with talk therapy can help people with OCD. It involves daily visits for 6 weeks and is for those who have already tried ERP therapy and SRI medication.
