Thought-Action-Fusion (TAF) is a cognitive bias that posits (1) having unwanted thoughts is morally equivalent to acting upon the thoughts (TAF-Moral; e.g., "Thinking about harming a child is as immoral as actually harming a child") and (2) having unwanted thoughts will increase the likelihood of the thoughts happening in real life (TAF-Likelihood; e.g., "My mother will get into a car accident, because I thought about it"). Given its central role in the development and maintenance of OCD, TAF has emerged as a potential treatment target for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Previous research has demonstrated that TAF is indeed a malleable construct. This study aims to examine the effects of a multi-session, personalized cognitive bias modification (CBM) for thought-action-fusion (TAF) on improving obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms in a college sample.

This trial tests whether combining TMS with ERP therapy can help young people with OCD better manage their compulsions. TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain areas linked to compulsive behavior. The study will compare different types of TMS to see which works best. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been widely used as a therapy for severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Exposure Therapy for OCD

San Diego, California
Exposure therapy is the most effective treatment available for obsessive compulsive disorder, yet up to 50% of patients do not recover because the mechanisms underlying successful response are poorly understood, leading to significant variability in how clinicians conduct exposure therapy. The main purpose of this study is to determine which target mechanisms are most critical to engage in real-world exposure sessions to produce good treatment outcomes. Adult participants (N = 400) with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) receiving exposure therapy from two sites (McLean Hospital, San Diego State University) across the continuum of care (outpatient, partial hospital, residential) will complete baseline clinical and demographic measures as well as weekly symptom reports. The project will measure exposure mechanisms across three levels of analysis (self-report, observer-rated behavior, physiology) during each exposure session. Mechanisms assessed will include a broad range of variables based on both habituation and inhibitory learning models of exposure. Self-report and observer-rated mechanisms will be measured with the Exposure Feedback Form, created and piloted by the study team. Physiological mechanisms will include skin conductance response, heart rate, and heart rate variability measured with a wristwatch. The current study will determine (1) which exposure mechanisms lead to favorable clinical outcomes, and (2) what makes a good exposure for whom. Results of this study have the potential to improve personalized care for the many patients who do not remit following exposure therapy for OCD.

Hoarding disorder (HD) is a chronic, progressive, and debilitating psychiatric condition that leads to devastating personal and public consequences, particularly for older adults. This confirmatory efficacy trial will advance our knowledge of the mechanisms of action in the treatment of HD as well as reduce symptom severity, disability, and community consequences.

The overarching goal of this protocol is to investigate mechanisms that influence symptom outcomes of exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD. Mechanisms may include affective processes, learning factors, cognitive factors, or other constructs that could influence treatment outcomes. The study team will conduct this research within the context of an effective online treatment for OCD called OCD-NET. OCD-NET is bibliotherapy with coaching and its content is reflective of standard care for OCD.

This study investigates the computational mechanisms associated with psychiatric disease dimensions. The study will characterize the relationship between computational parameter estimates of task performance and psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses with a longitudinal approach over a 12 month interval. Participants will be healthy participants recruited through Prolific an on-line crowdsourcing service, and psychiatric patients and healthy participants recruited via UCLA Psychiatry Clinics and UCLA's STAND Program

TMS + Psychotherapy for OCD

Los Angeles, California
This study will test how people with OCD respond to a type of noninvasive brain stimulation, repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), when it is combined with psychotherapy. Participants will either engage in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy or supportive therapy (ST) while receiving rTMS. Biobehavioral data from wearable devices and smartphones will be collected to better predict treatment responses. Participants will also undergo repeat resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rsfMRI) in order to assess neural predictors and mechanisms of treatment response.

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of using sound waves directed at the brain to treat patients with OCD who may not respond to usual treatments. The sound waves target a specific brain area to change its activity and reduce symptoms.

This trial tests a new method that combines teaching emotion management skills with a type of brain stimulation. The goal is to help adults who struggle to calm down when upset and have certain mental health conditions. The brain stimulation aims to make it easier for them to learn and use these skills effectively.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

WR

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

FF

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."
