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 evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential usefulness of using a mobile application (nOCD) for treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in a sample of 25 adults (ages 18-65) in an 8 week trial. nOCD is a free iOS/Android application that provides treatment strategies. The study team will evaluate the effect of the application using gold-standard clinician-administered and self-report measures. Prior to downloading the application, participants will receive 4 (up to 5) in-person visit (orientation to the app and psychoeducation) and receive brief weekly phone check-ins. The long-term goal of this study is to use this information to develop new treatments for patients with OCD. All study procedures will be conducted on site at the New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential usefulness of using a mobile app (nOCD) for treatment of OCD in a sample of 25 adults (ages 18-65). nOCD is a free iOS/Android app that provides EX/RP-consistent treatment strategies. The study team will evaluate the effect of the app using gold-standard clinician-administered and self-report measures. Prior to downloading the app, participants will receive 4 (up to 5) in-person visits and receive brief weekly phone check-in. The long term goal of this line of research is to increase access to evidence-based treatment and to ultimately reach more patients giving them access to tools to reduce their OCD symptoms and improve their quality of life.
