Summary
"This trial aims to see if using a mobile app to assess OCD symptoms in children is helpful and acceptable for both the children and their parents. They will also see if personalized therapy based on these assessments works
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and teens aged 8-17 with a primary diagnosis of OCD, as confirmed by an interview. They should have moderate OCD severity and be either medication-free or on a stable dose for at least 8 weeks. Participants must speak English but can't join if they're already in psychotherapy for OCD, have certain other mental health conditions, or are at immediate risk of harming themselves.
What is being tested?
The study is testing whether using mobile tech to assess OCD symptoms in kids leads to better treatment outcomes. It compares personalized cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), tailored based on these assessments, against standard CBT typically used to treat youth with OCD.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve assessments and therapy sessions rather than medications, typical side effects associated with drugs aren't expected. However, discussing sensitive topics during therapy could cause temporary distress or emotional discomfort.
