Summary

This study investigates whether caloric vestibular stimulation can modulate a measure of insight in obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders.

Conditions

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
  • Body Dysmorphic Disorders
  • Illness Anxiety Disorder

Interventions

OTHER

Caloric Vestibular Stimulation

Cold water creates a convection current in the semicircular canal of the vestibular apparatus, leading to brief (\<3 min) and typically well tolerated sense of rotational movement. Similar stimulation is routinely used in standard vestibular diagnostic testing.
