OCD Treatment with Cognitive Bias Modification
This study is looking at a new approach called Cognitive Bias Modification for Interpretation (CBM-I) for adults with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). CBM-I is a digital program that helps change how people interpret ambiguous situations, aiming to reduce biased thinking often seen in anxiety. You would be recruited from an OCD treatment program and randomly assigned to either receive up to 12 sessions of CBM-I or up to 12 sessions of psychoeducation (education about anxiety and treatments). The researchers want to see if CBM-I is practical, acceptable, and helps improve OCD symptoms, measured by changes in your Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) score over 8 weeks. To join, you need to be an adult patient at the OCD Institute with a primary OCD diagnosis and be able to complete a 20-minute computer task.
- Study design
- This is a randomized controlled trial with 106 planned participants. You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups.
- What's involved
- You would participate in up to 12 sessions of either CBM-I or psychoeducation. Your OCD symptoms would be measured at the start, at 4 weeks, and at 8 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your progress will be followed for 8 weeks after the start of the study.
