Abstract:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and impairing condition. A very small percentage of patients become asymptomatic after treatment. The purpose of this paper was to review the alternative therapies available for OCD when conventional treatment fails. Data were extracted from controlled clinical studies (evidence-based medicine) published on the MEDLINE and Science Citation Index/Web of Science databases between 1975 and 2012. Findings are discussed and suggest that clinicians dealing with refractory OCD patients should: 1) review intrinsic phenomenological aspects of OCD, which

Abstract:

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (DSM 4) defines obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) as compulsive or repetitive behaviors of obsessions that a person feels driven to perform. These acts and behaviors are aimed at preventing or reducing distress but are not connected in a realistic way. OCD is a pathological hypothesis of dysfunctions occurring within the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical loops. It is one of the most prevalent and disabling psychiatric disorder associated with decreased life quality (American Psychiatric Association). This article will provide a brief s

Abstract:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a severe psychiatric disorder, which can be associated with music-related symptoms. Music may also be used as an adjunct treatment for OCD. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we performed a systematic literature review exploring the relationship between music and OCD by using three online databases: PubMed, the Web of Science, and PsycINFO. The search terms were “obsessive compulsive disorder”, “OCD”, “music”, and “music therapy”. A total of 27 articles were utilised (n = 650 patients/study participants) and grouped into three categories. The first category

Abstract:

Abstract OCD is a widespread disorder affecting about 1.21% or 3.3 million people in the US alone. Despite the relative benefits of pharmacological interventions and cognitive-behavior therapy, the full recovery rate is low, and dropout and relapse rates are high. Apart from the standard outpatient Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) method, other options for severe, refractory OCD include general psychiatric inpatient admission, intensive residential treatment, and partial-hospitalization. None of these options is completely or universally effective, and there is a need for continued innov

IntroductionExpert guidelines recommend cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) as a first-line treatment for obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), but the majority of patients with OCD do not have access to CBT. Internet-delivered CBT (ICBT) has the potential to make this evidence-based treatment more accessible while requiring less therapist time than traditional face-to-face (f2f) CBT. Data from six clinical trials suggest that ICBT for OCD is both efficacious and cost-effective, but whether ICBT is non-inferior to traditional f2f CBT for OCD is yet unknown.Methods and analysisA single-blind, ra

The effectiveness of drugs that have a specific effect on the activity of the serotonergic neurotransmitter system has changed the outlook for patients suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). With a response rate of about 70% to such compounds and the great amount of brain imaging studies conducted over the past decades, an understanding of the biochemical nature and origins of OCD is beginning to unfold. Convergent data including ethological and experimental observations, clinico-pathological findings and different imaging methods have implicated the basal ganglia along with the c

IntroductionIndividual cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with exposure and response prevention is an effective treatment for obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). However, individual CBT is costly and time-consuming, requiring weekly therapy sessions for 3–4 months. A 4-day intensive version of CBT for OCD delivered in group format has been recently developed in Norway (Bergen 4-day treatment, B4DT). B4DT has shown promising results in several uncontrolled and one small, randomised trial, but its non-inferiority to the gold standard treatment has not been established.Methods and analysisThis

Disorders that include these features can be grouped according to the focus of the symptoms, e.g., bodily preoccupation (i.e., eating disorders, ED) or impulse control (i.e., substance use disorders, SUD), and they exhibit intriguing similarities in phenomenology, etiology, pathophysiology, patient characteristics and clinical outcomes.
