This study tests a treatment that uses sound waves to target a small part of the brain related to OCD, without surgery. It might help people with severe OCD who have not improved with standard treatments.
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 is testing a brain implant that sends electrical signals to specific areas of the brain to help people with very severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that has not improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce OCD symptoms and improve daily functioning.
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.
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 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.
