Recruiting NA Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

New treatment option for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Official title Neural Mechanisms of Response Inhibition Training for OCRD

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05377125

What this study is testing

What it's testing
The impaired ability to suppress an inappropriate but pre-potent response (response inhibition; RI) characterizes several debilitating clinical problems, including obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRD) such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, trichotillomania, and skin picking disorder. There is a critical need to develop an effective and durable treatment for OCRDs with demonstrable evidence for improving impaired RI.
