Summary

This trial compares the effects of tDCS and sham stimulation before CBT on OCD symptoms. Investigator thinks tDCS may lead to greater improvements.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Wisconsin residents with a primary diagnosis of OCD who are enrolled in the Intensive Outpatient Program at Rogers Behavioral Health. Participants must speak and understand English well. It's not open to those with metal in their body, cranial pathologies, pregnant individuals, previous patients of Rogers Behavioral Health, or those on certain seizure threshold-lowering meds.
What is being tested?
The study tests if brain stimulation (tDCS) before cognitive-behavioral therapy helps more than fake stimulation (sham tDCS) in improving OCD symptoms. The hypothesis is that active brain stimulation will lead to better outcomes compared to sham treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from tDCS may include mild tingling, itching or discomfort at the electrode site on the scalp, fatigue, headache or nausea. These are usually temporary and often resolve soon after treatment.
