Summary

This early study tests whether MRI-guided focused ultrasound can safely reduce symptoms in adults with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that hasn't improved with standard treatments.

The main goals are to check for side effects and see if symptoms like compulsions and anxiety improve.
