Radical Openness for Adolescents Pilot

Anorexia NervosaObsessive-Compulsive Disorder3 more

Heightened performance monitoring and overcontrol (HPM/OC) is characterized by inflexibility, a need for control, perfectionism, anxious apprehension and high error monitoring. HPM/OC is a cross-diagnostic (transdiagnostic) characteristic occurring across multiple forms of psychiatric illness that emerge in adolescence, including anorexia nervosa (AN), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and social anxiety disorder. This study characterizes behavioral and neural HPM/OC in healthy adolescents and adolescents with disorders characterized by HPM/OC, including AN and related eating disorders and anxiety, depressive and obsessive compulsive disorders. We then examine feasibility of a novel treatment for HPM/OC in adolescents, examining recruitment feasibility, exploration of the mechanism of HPM/OC and examining whether treatment is able to target neural and behavioral HPM/OC.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in the Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders...

Obsessive Compulsive Disorders

Objectives.-Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive stimulation methods that became widely used as therapeutic tools in neuropsychiatric research. The aim of this study is to Evaluate the therapeutic impact of different frequencies of repetitive transcranial stimulation (1HZ, 10HZ) in OCD patients. Material and Methods; Forty five patients of OCD were participated in the study. All patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of DSM-IV-TR. The mean age of the patients was 27.1+4.5 years. Each patient was subjected to the following: Yale-Brown obsessive compulsive scale (Y-BOCS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), and Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S). The patients were randomly classified into three equal groups using closed envelop: 1st group received 1 Hz rTMS at 100% of the RMT, 2nd group received 10 Hz rTMS with intensity of 100% of the RMT and 3rd group was sham group received the sham stimulation with a total 2000 pulses every day for each group for 10 sessions. Follow up of the patients using the same previous scales after the end of sessions and 3 months later.

Deep-brain Stimulation in Obsessive-compulsive Disorder: Randomized, Double-blinded Clinical Trial...

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

A prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was conducted in 7 OCD patients during which 4 electrode contacts along a striatal axis were stimulated bilaterally. DBS electrode implantation followed a trajectory placing contact zero in nucleus accumbens (a common target for OCD treatment) with more proximal contacts placed in striatal segments defined using projections from prefrontal cortex subdivisions (ventromedial, orbitofrontal, dorsolateral) and anterior cingulate cortex.

Neurofeedback for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

The aim of this study is to train patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder to control a region of their brain that has been associated with their symptoms. Patients in the experimental group will be given direct feedback regarding activity in this brain area while they are undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning, and will try to learn to control activity in the region during these feedback sessions. A separate group of patients will be given a control form of feedback that we do not believe can have clinical benefits. Our primary hypothesis is that the neurofeedback training will reduce OCD symptoms more than the control feedback.

Refining the Target for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Severe, Treatment Refractory Obsessive Compulsive...

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

In select, therapy resistent patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been used as a treatment. DBS is a therapy modality in which electrodes are implanted within specific sub-structures of the brain in order to modulate the activity in targeted neural circuits associated with different neurological disorders. The results of this novel approach to psychiatric disorders have been optimistic. This study aims to investigate wether or not the distance to target location has an influence on the outcome. In order to deliver DBS, leads containing four electrodes are implanted into the brain target in the ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS). After an optimization period, patients enter a triple blind randomised two fazed crossover design of two periods of three months. In both crossover branches, patients, evaluating psychiatrist and psychologist are blinded for the stimulation conditions. These conditions are stimulation ON (at optimal parameters) and stimulation OFF. Stimulation parameters are constant during the entire period. During the second crossover branch, stimulation conditions are reversed for all patients.

Assisting Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Patients With Discontinuing Long-term Serotonin Reuptake...

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

This study will address questions of fundamental clinical significance including: (1) whether OCD patients maintained on long term SRIs can be discontinued without symptom exacerbation, (2) whether trans-diagnostic cognitive-behavioral treatment will reduce worsening following discontinuation compared to Taper and Monitoring, and (3) whether predictors of successful SRI discontinuation can be identified.

rTMS in Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Low frequency (1Hz) rTMS applied bilaterally and simultaneously over SMA for 6 weeks in addition to the standard treatment regimen for OCD, will lead to significant improvement in patients' symptoms. The clinical improvement detected by YBOCS, CGI and SF-36 QOLS scores will be statistically significant in active treatment group compared to sham (placebo) treatment group.

Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

The purpose of this study is to find the best treatment for Tourette's Syndrome (TS)-spectrum obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which includes symptoms of TS, e.g., repeated and involuntary body movements (tics). There are 2 parts to this study: In Part 1, patients are placed into 1 of 2 groups based on type of OCD, determined by medical history and family member interviews. In Part 2, patients are treated with fluvoxamine (FVX) for 8 weeks. If patients do not respond to FVX alone, either haloperidol or an inactive placebo will be added to the FVX regimen; patients will take this drug combination for 4 weeks. Patients will be monitored throughout the trial.

Cognitive Bias Modification for Thought-Action Fusion

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

An important cognitive bias in many emotional disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), is thought-action fusion (TAF). TAF describes the bias to interpret the presence of unwanted mental intrusions as morally equivalent to acting on them (TAF-M), and/or increasing the likelihood of the feared consequence occurring to either oneself (TAF-LS) or others (TAF-LO). The present study is designed to test the feasibility of a single session computerized cognitive bias modification for interpretations (CBM-I) to reduce TAF among individuals who reported obsessional intrusions. Participants will be randomized to (a) the TAF-incongruent condition (TAF-INC), designed to decrease TAF linked to obsessional thoughts, to (b) the TAF-congruent condition (TAF-CON), designed to render TAF-like interpretation of obsessional thoughts unchallenged, or to (c) a Stress Management Psychoeducation (SMP) condition, designed to provide information about stress reduction, but not target TAF directly.
