Brain zaps for OCD? small study tests feasibility
NCT ID NCT07419009
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a type of brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation can help people with OCD shift their behavior more flexibly. It involves 12 participants who will receive three daily sessions of stimulation. The goal is to see if the procedures are practical and acceptable, not to determine if the stimulation actually changes symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
continuous theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (cTBS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that brain stimulation is a feasible way to study cognitive control in OCD, paving the way for larger trials.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 12 participants. It is not designed to test if the treatment works, so any benefits are uncertain.
