This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment to create a tiny lesion in the brain's anxiety circuit, aiming to relieve severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that hasn't improved with standard therapies. It is for adults aged 25-64 with at least 5 years of OCD and who have tried multiple medications and therapy without success.
This trial studies a form of brain stimulation to help reduce severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. It may be an option if your OCD has not improved despite several standard treatments and therapy.
This study tests whether a special helmet that uses focused ultrasound can safely change brain activity in adults with severe OCD that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may offer a new option for people who have not found relief from medications or therapy.
This trial studies deep brain stimulation (a surgically placed device that sends electrical signals) for people with OCD when medicines and therapy have not worked. The goal is to improve how precisely the treatment targets the brain to reduce OCD symptoms.
This trial tests a treatment called deep brain stimulation (DBS) for OCD that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Small electrodes are placed in specific brain areas to see if they can reduce severe OCD symptoms.
This trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) combined with facing your fears can help people with hard-to-treat OCD. If you've tried multiple treatments without relief, this study may offer a new option.
