Brief Summary

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

This pilot study aims to compare the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) versus sham stimulation, delivered immediately prior to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), on patient-reported outcomes. The investigator hypothesize that patients who receive active stimulation will experience greater improvement in OCD symptoms than those who receive sham stimulation.
