Summary

This study tests whether a culturally adapted self-help workbook based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in Pakistan. 108 adults with OCD will use the manual over ten weeks, with guidance from a therapist. Researchers will measure changes in OCD symptoms, anxiety, depression, and daily functioning to see if the approach is feasible and effective.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
culturally adapted guided self-help CBT manual
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an accessible, low-cost treatment option for OCD in Pakistan, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (108 participants) testing feasibility, not proven efficacy. The self-help format may not work for everyone, and results may not apply outside Pakistan.
