Current Studies
This research study will examine how an iPad-based cognitive training game combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps children with excessive worries and related repetitive behaviors (“obsessive compulsive disorder”). Children ages 8-12 may be eligible to participate.
Who Can Participate?
- Age (years) is between 8 and 12
- Bothered by worries, fears, obsessions, or compulsions (rituals)
- Interference from worries or fears (e.g., school attendance or performance, relationships with family members or peers, involvement in activities)
- Note: No previous formal diagnosis required
What is Involved?
Eligible children will complete a clinical evaluation, questionnaires, 2 MRI scans, and cognitive training games at home on an iPad loaned to you.
Compensation
Your child can receive compensation up to $400 in the form of gift cards for participating in this study. After completing the study, all children will be offered CBT delivered by experts at no cost.
