Summary

This study looked at how two different types of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) affect brain activity in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). 35 adults with OCD symptoms received 15 therapy sessions and had brain scans before, during, after, and 6 months later. The goal was to see if the therapies change brain function in areas linked to OCD, not to test a new treatment.
