Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to explore the efficacy and influencing of accelerated dTMS (deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) treatment in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and explores the potential neural mechanisms of treatment effect by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG).
Detailed Description
The study is to recruit eligible patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) from the Shanghai Mental Health Center for deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) intervention, and recruit healthy controls who meet the enrollment criteria from the community. Among them, patients with OCD will be randomly divided into a real stimulation group and a sham stimulation group. After baseline assessment, dTMS treatment will be administered twice a day. EEG data collection, MRI data, cognitive tasks, psychological self-assessment scales and clinical symptom assessment will be conducted before treatment and 2 weeks after treatment. During the treatment process, patients will receive two treatments per day, each lasting 20 minutes, for a total of 2 weeks, or 28 treatments in total.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To explore the differences in treatment efficacy between active and sham dTMS in patients with OCD
Time Frame: baseline,2weeks,4weeks
It assesses the severity of OCD symptoms. The Y-BOCS scale ranges from 0 to 40, with 0 being no symptoms and 40 being severe. The primary outcome measure percent reduction of Y-BOCS scores at completion of the dTMS treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- To explore the differences in treatment efficacy between active and sham dTMS in patients with OCD(baseline,2 weeks, 4 weeks)
- Change in The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)(baseline,2 weeks, 4 weeks)
- Change in the The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)(baseline,2 weeks, 4 weeks)
