TMS and therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.

This trial studies a non-surgical brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) delivered to both sides of the brain for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may help those whose OCD has not improved after trying at least two different OCD medicines.
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 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 study tests a new way of using brain stimulation (TMS) to improve OCD symptoms. It may help if standard treatments haven't worked well enough for you.
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.
