NCT ID NCT07011901

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study uses brain wave recordings (EEG) and computer models to better understand why people with OCD feel compelled to repeat certain actions. Researchers will compare 50 adults with OCD to 50 healthy volunteers. The goal is to find more precise brain patterns linked to compulsivity, which could eventually help doctors tailor treatments to each person.
