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.
635 studies on the registry are indexed under Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder; 166 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 5 is below the median of 45 across 520 interventional studies indexed under Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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

Ran from Apr 2018 to primary completion in Nov 2018, 6 months.
Of 234 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 65. This study's 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 237 studies reached it within 43 months; a quarter within 22 and three quarters within 65.
