Brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive behaviors
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a device that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, which may help reduce obsessive and compulsive behaviors. It is for adults who have had these symptoms for a while and are not getting enough relief from their current treatment.
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, as measured by a standard questionnaire.
- You are willing to avoid other brain stimulation treatments during the study.
- If you are on psychiatric medication or therapy, your dose has been stable for at least 2 months.
- If you could become pregnant, you must use birth control during the study.
- You do not have metal implants in your head, a history of seizures, or other serious health conditions that could make the treatment unsafe.

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 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 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 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 a brain stimulation technique to help people with OCD improve their thinking control. It's also looking for healthy volunteers to compare results.
