Using brain stimulation to treat obsessive-compulsive behaviors
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation device) can improve obsessive-compulsive behaviors. It is for adults aged 22 and older with at least mild symptoms who are willing to avoid other experimental treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years old or older
- You have obsessive-compulsive behaviors that are at least mild (score of 15 or higher on a standard symptom checklist)
- You are willing to avoid other experimental brain stimulation treatments during the study
- If you take medication for mental health, your dose has been stable for at least 2 months
- You can follow study instructions and attend all required visits

This trial tests a new type of noninvasive brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation for people with OCD. It may help reduce symptoms when standard medications have not worked well enough.
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 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 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 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 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.
