Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS could reduce obsessive-compulsive symptoms in 26 adults with OCD. Participants received either real TMS or a sham (fake) treatment over six weeks, and researchers tracked symptom changes using a standard OCD scale. The goal was to see if TMS works and to understand how it affects the brain.
