Videophone Administered Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Pediatric Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
In brief
Although cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most effective intervention for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), many people do receive CBT initially. Given this, alternative ways of providing CBT need to be identified and tested. With this in mind, the proposed study examines the efficacy of a videophone based cognitive-behavioral intervention for youth with OCD. A total of 30 youth will be randomly assigned to either videophone administered CBT or an abbreviated wait-list control arm. Comprehensive assessments will be conducted by trained clinicians at relevant time-points to assess symptom severity and impairment.
