FIRST ORCHARD OCD FUNDED STUDY A SUCCESS!

[Forum Moderators]

The University of Hertfordshire and Orchard OCD completed a study of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) – a form of non-invasive brain stimulation – as a potential new treatment option for people with OCD.

The results show that tDCS reduced OCD symptoms and is both acceptable and safe for use in people with OCD.

Researchers found that the effects of the treatment on OCD symptoms seems to diminish around four hours after stimulation. So, their next step is to undertake further research – but the initial findings are a step forward for the future of OCD management.
