Trial Outcomes & Findings for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Mechanisms and Biomarkers (NCT NCT02355002)

NCT ID: NCT02355002

Last Updated: 2026-02-13

Results Overview

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is the gold-standard, semi-structured clinician-administered assessment of OCD symptom severity. It contains 10 items ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (extreme symptoms), yielding a total possible score range from 0 to 40. Higher scores indicate more severe OCD symptom severity. We compared the efficacy of TMS to Sham in reducing OCD symptom severity over a 6-week period. Efficacy was again compared in the follow-up phase of the study in from week 6 to week 18.

Active Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Treatment
In this arm subjects will receive real, active TMS with a standard, water-cooled, figure-8 shaped TMS coil. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses a rapidly changing magnetic field to induce current in brain tissue non-invasively. It is common procedure in both clinical and research settings, and it has well established guidelines for safe an ethical use which maximize safety for all subjects. See attached Rossi et. al. 2009 as a reference to safety guidelines for TMS.
Sham-TMS Treatment
This arm serves as the sham/placebo control. In TMS a sham coil is used to create a sensory experience which is similar to active TMS, but in which the magnetic field is blocked by a metal shield built into the coil.

Population: Number Analyzed in Row Differs Due to Missing/Incomplete Data

The Obsessive-Compulsive Beliefs Questionnaire (OBQ) is a patient-rated assessment of beliefs considered important in the development and maintenance of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It contains 44 items ranging from 1 (disagree very much) to 7 (agree very much) across 3-4 thought domains, yielding a total possible score range from 44 to 308. Higher scores indicate more strongly held OCD-related beliefs. We compared the efficacy of TMS to Sham in reducing OCD beliefs over a 6-week period. Efficacy was again compared in the follow-up phase of the study in from week 6 to week 18.

Population: Number Analyzed in Row Differs Due to Missing/Incomplete Data

The Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R) is a self-report questionnaire that measures OCD symptoms across 6 sub-scales including washing, checking, neutralizing, obsessing, ordering and hoarding. It contains 18 items ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely), yielding a total possible score range from 0 to 72. Higher scores indicate more severe OCD symptoms. We compared the efficacy of TMS to Sham in reducing inventory of obsessive symptoms over a 6-week period. Efficacy was again compared in the follow-up phase of the study in from week 6 to week 18.
