NameTimeMethod
Mood and behaviorBaseline, 12 weeks

Mood changes judged using gait and face recognition

Cognitive functionBaseline, 12 weeks

Cognitive inhibition was assessed using the emotional color-word Stroop task. The emotional Stroop task is a type of being Widely used cognitive inhibition assessment tools. The longer the reaction time, the worse the cognitive inhibition ability.

ERP components associated with cognitive functionBaseline, 12 weeks

To explore the ERP component analysis related to cognitive inhibition and Behavioral inhibition in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by event related potential (ERP) analysis

Obsessive-compulsive symptomsBaseline, 12 weeks

Obsessive-compulsive symptoms were assessed according to the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), The total score ranges from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.

rest fMRI in Obsessive-compulsive patientsBaseline, 12 weeks

The changes of resting-state functional connectivity were analyzed in patients with OCD before and after intervention. Resting-state functional connectivity:FC(Functional connectivity). Resting-state functional brain imaging data were collected using a GE 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner (GE Discovery MR750) at the Brain Imaging Center, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Behavioral inhibitionBaseline, 12 weeks

behavioral inhibition was assessed using the emotional stop signal task (SST). The emotional SST task is a type of being Widely used behavioral inhibition assessment tools. Among them, the greater the SSRT, the worse the behavioral inhibition ability.
