NCT ID NCT07124780
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of employment services for adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who are unemployed and want to work. All 40 participants will receive up to 12 sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and half will also get Individual Placement and Support (IPS) job coaching while the other half gets standard vocational services. The goal is to see which approach better helps people find and keep competitive jobs.
