Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to learn whether personalized assessment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms in childhood OCD using mobile health technology are feasible and acceptable for youth and parents. The investigators will also examine whether personalized cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that is informed by personalized OCD assessments yields better clinical outcomes when compared to standard CBT for youth with OCD
This study will investigate the parent-based treatment SPACE: Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions. The aim of this study is to investigate whether SPACE is effective in reducing family accommodation (FA) and OCD symptoms in children with a complex obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), that did not or cannot benefit from first line treatment.
This is a 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 consist of 4-lead DBS surgery with bilateral IPGs and further optimization of stimulation parameters. Stage 3 will be randomized, crossover treatment, followed by open label treatment.
The goal of this multiple baseline case series study is to test the effect of imagery rescripting (ImRs) in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Primary objective :The course of schema or core beliefs and change in OCD and BDD. To investigate the effectiveness of imagery rescripting on factors presumed to underlie the disorder, according to schema theory, and on OCD and BDD symptoms. Secondary objective: The change in OCD and BDD symptoms (full questionnaire), schemata and modes, core emotions, mood, affect and obtrusiveness of intrusion. Other objectives are research into the working mechanisms of imagery rescripting by collecting qualitative data from patients and their practitioner in a qualitative interview. For this study, a multiple-baseline single-case experimental design (SCED) is used testing different outcome variables in 18 OCD patients and 18 BDD patients. After a variable baseline period of 3-8 weeks participants will start twice weekly with imagery rescripting for 12 sessions, followed by a 6 week follow up. Participants will rate schema- or core beliefs and OCD or BDD severity on a visual analogue scale. In addition participants will rate core emotions, affect and obtrusiveness of the intrusion. Secondary we will asses four times questionnaires about OCD of BDD symptoms, depression and schemas en modes. After treatment participants will be interviewed about their experiences.
The aim of the present study is to assess the efficacy of a mobile application called esTOCma in promoting mental health literacy, reducing stigmatizing attitudes related to the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and improving teachers' confidence in dealing with students that might have OCD. A parallel, randomized controlled trial with two conditions (experimental and control group) will be carried out in a sample of teachers that work in primary and secondary education. Pre-post changes will be assessed. Experimental group will use the app until they finish it (within a set period of 10 days), whereas control group will do nothing for 10 days. Primarily, it is expected that after the use of the app, participants will show an improvement in OCD-related literacy, stigmatizing attitudes, desired social distance and their comfort, confidence and perceived ability in teaching and handling students with OCD. Secondarily, the investigators hypothesize that experimental group might show a reduction in obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
The goal of this study is to pilot test a novel group therapy intervention for adults with OCD.
The main purpose of this randomised clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a prevention program for adult who are at risk of developing OCD, thus constituting a form of tertiary prevention.
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of psilocybin on cognitive inflexibility and neural plasticity in a cohort of people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a significant mental health problem worldwide. OCD typically begins in young adulthood, and without adequate intervention, often takes a chronic course. Individuals with OCD may suffer impaired relationships, and ability to engage in leisure activities, study or work. Thus, prevention efforts are crucial to target OCD symptoms before they worsen. The goal of this randomized-controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-guided OCD program on a mobile phone application in young adults with subclinical OCD symptoms. Hypothesis 1a: The intervention group will report significantly lower OCD symptoms (primary measure) at post-intervention and 1-month follow-up compared to the control group. Hypothesis 1b. The intervention group will report significantly lower depression, anxiety and stress symptoms (secondary measure) at post-intervention and 1-month follow-up compared to the control group. Hypothesis 2. Perfectionism will moderate the expected relationship between the OCD intervention and the reduction of scores on both primary and secondary measures, i.e. individuals with lower levels of perfectionism will benefit more from the OCD intervention than those with higher levels of perfectionism.
A substantial part of children/adolescents with anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (AD/OCD) do not profit substantially from first-choice treatment (i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy; CBT). For them, no evidence-based treatment is available. The aim of this project is to evaluate and optimize a newly-developed personalized, short, and intensive exposure-based intervention, 'HANDS-ON', for 'treatment non-responders'. Collaboration with children, parents and teachers, guided exposure in a child's natural environment, personalized treatment goals and meaning/motivation are central principles. Methods: A multiple baseline single-case experimental design is used (qualitative and quantitative). Participants are children/adolescents (10-18 years; N=12) with an AD/OCD diagnosis for whom standard CBT did not lead to sufficient improvement. Children and parents are asked to complete questionnaires before, during, and after the treatment. Children, parents, and school professionals will be asked to participate in qualitative interviews to evaluate their experiences with the HANDS-ON treatment program.
