Summary

This trial tests if teens with OCD can discontinue meds after getting extra help via CBT, and still stay symptom-free over 6 months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 7-17 in Texas with a primary diagnosis of OCD lasting over 6 months, who are moderately symptomatic despite being on stable SRI medication for at least 12 weeks. Participants must speak English and not be taking certain excluded medications or have specific other mental health diagnoses.
What is being tested?
The study tests if Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help kids with OCD stop taking their Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SRI) meds without their symptoms coming back. The test lasts for half a year to see if the benefits last.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on CBT, which is a type of talk therapy, there aren't typical drug side effects. However, discussing distressing thoughts or feelings during therapy could potentially cause temporary discomfort.
