Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction in total score of Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale which assess Obsessive compulsive symptom severity.Timepoint: Outcome assessments will be done by independent assessors who will be blind to the allocation. The primary end-point of the study will be after the intervention (Three months of intervention in both groups). The primary outcome in both groups will be assessed every two weeks during the intervention and one month and six months of follow-up. This would enable us to evaluate the rapidity and the sustainability of response.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
