Study Summary

This trial will compare two different ways to help people with hoarding disorder.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older adults aged 60 and above who have been diagnosed with hoarding disorder. Participants must live within a 60-minute drive of Starkville, MS. They should not be in another hoarding-focused therapy, have major cognitive issues, active psychosis or drug problems, or recent changes in their psychotropic medications.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is comparing two behavioral treatments designed to help with hoarding disorder: 'RECLAIM' which aims to reduce clutter and increase life meaning, and 'Sorting Practice' that focuses on organizing items. The goal is to see which method works better for these individuals.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions are behavioral therapies rather than medications, traditional side effects like those seen with drugs are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or anxiety when confronting their hoarding behaviors during the sessions.
