Decision-making in OCD: an fMRI and TMS study
Do you have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?
Decision-making in OCD: an fMRI and TMS study
- Have thoughts or fears that don’t make sense but still make you feel bad?
- Have to check or do things over and over again?
- Wash excessively or avoid touching things for fear of contamination.
We are looking for people with OCD to participate in a study providing these benefits:
- Diagnostic Evaluation
- Magnetic Resonance Brain Imaging
- $150 compensation for your participation in the study
You may be eligible if you:
- Are 18-65 years of age
- Are in good physical health
- Have no history of certain other psychiatric illnesses
Purpose of study: In this UCLA research study, we want to look at what happens in the brain when people with OCD pick choices during two simple decision-making tasks on a computer screen. We also want to use non-invasive brain stimulation methods called Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) which is a safe and well-tolerated to see how it can change the way research participants decide and select choices. This is not a treatment study.
