Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Efficacy of a Mobile App (nOCD) for OCD
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
In brief
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential usefulness of using a mobile application (nOCD) for treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in a sample of 25 adults (ages 18-65) in an 8 week trial. nOCD is a free iOS/Android application that provides treatment strategies. The study team will evaluate the effect of the application using gold-standard clinician-administered and self-report measures. Prior to downloading the application, participants will receive 4 (up to 5) in-person visit (orientation to the app and psychoeducation) and receive brief weekly phone check-ins. The long-term goal of this study is to use this information to develop new treatments for patients with OCD. All study procedures will be conducted on site at the New York State Psychiatric Institute.
