NCT ID NCT05623306
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to treat severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that hasn't improved with other treatments. Researchers will use brain mapping to guide the placement of four electrodes that deliver mild electrical pulses to specific brain areas. The goal is to see if this approach can safely reduce OCD symptoms. The trial involves 12 adults and includes a blinded phase where some participants receive active stimulation and others receive sham (inactive) stimulation to compare results.
