Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2016
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of repetitive TMS (rTMS) delivered simultaneously with elements of cognitive behavioral therapy/exposure-response prevention (CBT/ERP) in adult subjects (greater or equal to 18 years old) with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This is an open label study that involves standard of care for OCD (CBT) and an investigational treatment modality (TMS). The investigators will compare the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) scores before and after treatment to quantify clinical improvement. The side effects from TMS include, but are not limited to, headache, seizure, and general pain. CBT has minimal side effects other than mental discomfort during the exposure sessions. For safety concerns, pregnant women and subjects with seizure-related history will be excluded as well as other indicated conditions in the details protocol.
