First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study tests if a non-invasive technique called MRI-guided focused ultrasound can safely reduce symptoms in adults with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Ten participants will receive the ultrasound treatment and complete questionnaires about their mood and compulsions before and after. The main goal is to check for side effects and see if symptoms improve.
