Brain stimulation for postpartum OCD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for women with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that started or worsened within a year after giving birth. It may help reduce OCD symptoms without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests a brain stimulation technique to help people with OCD improve their thinking control. It's also looking for healthy volunteers to compare results.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with exposure therapy can help reduce obsessive-compulsive symptoms in teens and young adults. It aims to see if this combination is safe and effective.
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 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 gentle type of brain stimulation, called tACS, combined with brain-wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve OCD symptoms. It's for adults with moderate-to-severe OCD who meet specific safety and health criteria.
