Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of condensed, intensive ambulatory exposure treatment in patients with OCD, as step 2 in the treatment process, who have not improved sufficiently with standard, protocolled CBT (ERP) as step 1. It is hypothesized that patients with insufficient response after standard treatment will benefit from intensification of treatment (Y-BOCS-SR 35%).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A second objective of this study is to map early indicators of treatment outcome. The hypothesis is that early indicators of insufficient response during standard CBT treatment can be identified. Early indicators to consider are: difficulty performing the exposure tasks, sleep problems, depressed mood, and excessive worrying
