Study Summary

This trial tests a video game-like program that helps kids with OCD by improving their focus, impulse control, and memory. They'll take scans and follow-up with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children aged 8-12 with clinically significant OCD as their main issue, not on medication or psychotherapy for OCD. They must meet specific criteria and have a score of ≥16 on the C-YBOCS scale. Kids can't join if they're pregnant, nursing, use illicit drugs, have metal implants/braces, major depression or other serious mental disorders, suicidal thoughts, major medical issues or an IQ <80.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a game-like cognitive control training program (CT) using iPad games to improve attention and memory in young children with OCD. Over four weeks at home followed by MRI scans and standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), it aims to see if CT helps reduce symptoms and enhance response to CBT.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves cognitive exercises through games without medication involved, no direct physical side effects are expected from the CT itself. However, stress or frustration may occur due to challenging tasks within the games.
