tDCS for Inhibitory Control Deficits: A Test in OCD

Butler Hospital·interventional·Posted Dec 31, 2014·Updated May 15, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating ERP plus tDCS and ERP plus sham tDCS for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study is investigating whether combining noninvasive brain stimulation with behavior therapy can help to improve outcomes for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Exposure and response prevention (ERP) -- a specific type of behavior therapy -- is a first line treatment for OCD. This study will test whether a form of noninvasive brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can help ERP work better.
