Summary

This pilot study aims to compare the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) versus sham stimulation, delivered immediately prior to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), on patient-reported outcomes. The investigator hypothesize that patients who receive active stimulation will experience greater improvement in OCD symptoms than those who receive sham stimulation.

Conditions

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	transcranial direct current stimulation	Current will increase to 1.5 milliamps within 30 seconds and then maintain for 20 minutes
DEVICE	Sham transcranial direct current stimulation	Current will increase up to 1.5 milliamps within 30 seconds and then decrease back down over the next 30 seconds to 0 milliamps; subjects will received 0 milliamps for 20 minutes
