This study is investigating how the brains of people with OCD may change with treatment. The study uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to scan the brain, and the treatment used is a form of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy consisting of Exposure and Ritual Prevention (EX/RP). Participants will undergo a scan, which lasts for approximately 2 hours and takes…
The purpose of this pilot research study is to test whether certain components of the marijuana plant, known as "cannabinoids", may help to reduce symptoms in patients with OCD. Specifically, patients enrolled in the study will smoke marijuana containing different concentrations of 2 different cannabinoids, THC and CBD. Both of these agents act on…
The Center for OCD and Related Disorders is currently conducting a study in treating Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD), which is a severe illness characterized by distressing intrusive thoughts, images, or impulses about a variety of themes (e.g., fears of contamination or harm) and repetitive behaviors such as excessive washing or checking. The study is…
The study aims to assess the impact of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on brain imaging and neurophysiological measures in patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
This study is for infants that have been genetically diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and are currently not showing any signs or symptoms of the disease. The purpose of this study is to see whether ISIS 396443 has any effects (good or bad) on infants with SMA (who do not yet show signs or symptoms of the disease) and to see if ISIS 396443 can…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of a study drug called ISIS-396443 when using it to treat children with later-onset spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). SMA is a neuromuscular disease that causes a degeneration (a breakdown) of the motor neurons in the spinal cord, resulting in a weakening of the muscles in…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether cirrhosis occurs as a result of NASH. NASH is a disease that results when fat accumulates in the liver. GS-6624 is an experimental medication designed to help reverse the scarring process, and the purpose of this study is to see if GS-6624 can reverse the scarring in the liver and heal cirrhosis.
