Overview

This study explores whether rapid non-invasive brain stimulation can help reduce hoarding disorder symptoms.

Description

Hoarding disorder (HD) is characterized by difficulty letting go of possessions, leading to clutter that congests living spaces and impairs daily functioning. The majority of HD patients treated with cognitive behavioral therapy for HD usually experience considerable residual symptoms. New treatments are greatly needed. This study explores whether rapid non-invasive brain stimulation can help reduce hoarding disorder symptoms.
