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 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).
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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the NuPulseCV intravascular ventricular assist system (iVAS), a device similar to an Intra-aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) that helps circulate blood from the heart throughout the rest of the body. This study aims to: (1) See if the iVAS improves your blood circulation (2) Better understand how the iVAS device could…
