Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test whether the combination of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (DTMS) treatment with customary medication for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) patients is effective than treatment that include only medication.
