An interventional study of Computerized Training in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, sponsored by Stanford University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-13.
Sponsored by Stanford University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic and disabling disorder that costs the economy over $2 billion annually and represents a significant public health problem. This study aims to build on our understanding of aberrant emotional processing in OCD. The proposed project tests whether a computerized training aimed to alter emotional processes, can relieve repetitive thoughts and behaviors.
Exclusion criteria:
OCD and hoarding disorder participants will receive active emotional reactivity training (14 sessions) via computer.
Behavioral: Computerized Training
OCD and hoarding disorder participants will receive passive computerized training (14 sessions) via computer.
Behavioral: Computerized Training
OCD and hoarding disorder participants will receive 14 sessions of training via computer within 3 weeks.
Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (for participants diagnosed with OCD)
Improvement in OCD severity is measured by the YBOCS (Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale), a gold standard measure of obsessions and compulsions. For the YBOCS the minimum units are 0 and Maximum units on the total scale are 40. The higher the number on the YBOCS, the more severe the symptoms. Response is defined as at least a 35% reduction on the YBOCS.
Time frame: up to 2 months
Savings Inventory Revised Scale (for participants diagnosed with hoarding disorder)
The SI-R is a 23-item questionnaire with 3 factor-analytically defined sub-scales for difficulty discarding, excessive clutter, and compulsive acquisition.
Time frame: up to 2 months
