NCT ID NCT07679750

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a device that sends magnetic pulses to a specific brain area (dorsomedial prefrontal cortex) can safely reduce obsessive-compulsive behaviors in adults aged 22 and older. Participants receive either real or sham stimulation over six visits. The main goal is to see if symptoms improve after three months, measured by a standard OCD severity scale.
