New treatment option for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Official title Precision Analytic Research Methods in OCD
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07011901
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Psychiatric disorders characterized by compulsivity, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), result in considerable functional impairment and many individuals do not respond to gold-standard treatments. Compulsivity has long been thought to occur due to exaggerated habits and reduced goal-directed control, although more recently, this conceptualization of compulsivity as an imbalance of two cognitive systems has been challenged as overly narrow.
