First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a stepped-care internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) with reduced support is as effective as traditional group therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). 95 adults with moderate to severe OCD took part. The goal was to see if the online approach can ease symptoms, save money, and find the best time to step down treatment.
