What is being tested?
The trial tests Cognitive Bias Modification for Interpretation (CBM-I), a digital intervention aimed at changing interpretation bias in OCD patients, against psychoeducation. It will assess CBM-I's feasibility, acceptability, and impact on OCD when added to usual treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since CBM-I involves computer-based tasks and psychoeducation is informational, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience discomfort or fatigue from focusing on a screen during sessions.
