Summary

This study tests whether a 6-week digital mindfulness program, delivered through a mobile app, can help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) manage their symptoms. The trial compares the digital therapy alone, standard medication alone, and a combination of both in 150 participants. Researchers will also measure brain activity and heart rate to understand how the therapy works.
