Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Research Study
Join a compensated research study funded by the Weill Cornell Medicine aimed to study the effectiveness of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City

18 - 65 Years Old
Symptoms of OCD
Fast Facts
Able to Do MRI Scan
Study Background
The main goal of our study is to improve treatment methods for individuals struggling with OCD.
New interventions are urgently needed to treat OCD, as more than 25% of patients show no improvement with the current treatment methods.
Our researchers are evaluating repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for patients with OCD. rTMS uses focused magnetic field pulses to stimulate specific brain areas.
Contribute to the development of better treatment options for people living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
