Brain scan study for OCD with sensory experiences
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how the brain processes sensory feelings in people with OCD. You may be able to join if you have moderate to severe OCD and certain sensory experiences, like feelings of things being "just right."
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 55 years old.

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 trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with severe, long-lasting obsessive-compulsive disorder that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if symptoms can be triggered and then reduced.
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 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 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.
