Summary

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a severe mental illness characterized by repetitive behaviors that a person feels compelled to perform. It has been demonstrated that stimuli in the environment can trigger the compulsive urge, perpetuating the OCD cycle. The main goal of the current proposal, which is based on exciting pilot data, is to test a novel computerized training program to create an association between OCD-related stimuli, which typically trigger the compulsive urge, and the brain system responsible for stopping. The idea is that once this system is triggered, it will be easier for patients to stop the compulsive urge.
