Brain scan study for obsessive-compulsive disorder with sensory symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to understand how the brain processes sensory feelings in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It compares people with OCD who have unusual sensory experiences with those who do not, and with healthy individuals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You are right-handed.
- You have been diagnosed with OCD, or you are a healthy individual without any mental health conditions.
- If you have OCD, your symptoms are moderate to severe (scoring at least 16 on a standard OCD scale).
- If you take medication for OCD, your dose has been stable for at least 8 weeks, or you are not taking any medication.
- You can safely have an MRI scan (no metal implants, not pregnant).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
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 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.
