There are two primary approaches to the treatment of OCD, pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Lack of therapeutic success with one approach leads to trials of the alternative approach or a combination of the two. A rarely used third therapy approach, appropriate for only the most severely afflicted and …
The aim of this study is to understand why patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) fail in therapy. To understand the neural mechanisms involved in exposure therapy that support success and clinical improvement in order to improve therapy outcomes for OCD patients.
This study will include two parts. The first part will include two patients in a non-blinded, non-randomized, open trial. They will undergo Deep Bran Stimulation (DBS) for OCD (targeting the amSTN), as clinically accepted and approved in Israel (by the MOH) and in other countries in Europe and the US. …
In the current study, the investigators will characterize obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients and healthy controls with a comprehensive clinical and neuroimaging assessment, focusing on the basic psychological processes related and on the neurobiological underpinnings of emotion regulation (ER). After a baseline assessment, the investigators will implement an internet-based cognitive behavioral …
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating psychiatric illness impacting work, social, and family functioning. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the sole evidence-based psychotherapy for OCD; however, no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have examined the effectiveness of ERP among Veterans or individuals with both OCD and posttraumatic stress disorder …
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for people suffering from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) whose symptoms have failed to improve after years and multiple methods of intervention. An effective DBS target for OCD is the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) brain region. On average 60% of …
This study will conduct a randomized controlled trial of Cognitive Bias Modification for Interpretation (CBM-I) as an augmentation to treatment as usual for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). CBM-I is a digital intervention designed to directly manipulate interpretation bias through repeated practice on a training task, thereby inducing cognitive changes in …
This is a multi-site, double-blinded, randomized, crossover study design for SEEG-guided 4-lead DBS for treatment-refractory OCD, followed by open label stimulation for an additional 6 months. The study will be conducted in 3 stages: Stage 1 will consist of SEEG brain mapping and optimization of stimulation parameters. Stage 2 will …
Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) experience a wide array of different types of obsessions and compulsions. However, current treatments for OCD employ a "one size fits all" approach and are used for all patients regardless of symptom type. In this project, the investigators propose to investigate whether a novel method …
This study investigates whether the commonly used and well-tolerated inhaled anesthetic nitrous oxide can rapidly improve symptoms of OCD.
