Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome of the study is the clinical improvement in patients with OCD as recorded on Y-BOCS scale as seen at the end of 2 weeks of high frequency dTMS treatment.Timepoint: 1. At baseline 2. Day 1 (after 1st session of dTMS/sham stimulation ) 3. Day 14 (at the end of 10 sessions of stimulation)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes are the changes in functional activation of ACC and mPFC as measured by resting state fMRI and Stroop task evoked fMRI following 10 session of high frequency dTMS in patients with OCD.Timepoint: 1. At baseline 2. Day 1 (after 1st session of dTMS/Sham stimulation ) 3. Day 14 (at the end of 10 sessions of stimulation )
