NIH awarded a grant to Emma Pendleton Bradley Hospital to study the use of rTMS combined with ERP therapy to improve treatment outcomes for pediatric OCD, focusing on brain circuit normalization and symptom reduction.
Description
This project aims to test the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in improving treatment outcomes for youth with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The study will evaluate whether rTMS can normalize brain circuit functioning and reduce compulsive behaviors when combined with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.
