First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests a new approach for people with treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Researchers want to see if intentionally triggering OCD symptoms right before a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can improve symptom relief. The trial will compare two groups: one receiving tDCS alone and another receiving tDCS after symptom provocation. 178 adults with severe, long-term OCD will participate.
