About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy of Subthalamic Nucleus, Caudate Nucleus and Nucleus Accumbens Electric Stimulation in Severe and Resistant Obsessive-compulsive Disorder.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been proposed for severe and resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. This electrical stimulation has been tested on, and shown to be effective at, different targets (subthalamic nucleus, caudate nucleus \& nucleus accumbens). However, the efficacies of each target have never been compared directly.

This protocol aims to do so, with the hypothesis that subthalamic (STN) stimulation will be more efficacious.

Read the detailed description

Deep brain stimulation has been proposed for severe and resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This electrical stimulation has been tested on, and shown to be effective at, different targets (subthalamic nucleus, caudate nucleus \& nucleus accumbens). However, the efficacies of each target have never been compared directly.

Therefore, bilateral subthalamic and caudate electrodes will be implanted in severe OCD patients. Efficacy of stimulation at the different targets will be assessed using a double-blind randomised crossover design.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Deep brain stimulation in people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Severity of symptoms after each phase (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2016.
