First seen Mar 15, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This small pilot study tests whether a brief, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can boost the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

The study focuses on safety and early signs of symptom improvement.
