Maximizing Treatment Outcome in OCD
•Are you taking medication for
obsessive-compulsive disorder?
•Are you still having bothersome symptoms?
•Are you interested in receiving no-cost treatment?
The Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety at the
University of Pennsylvania is offering treatment for
people who have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and
are currently taking certain medications for their OCD
but still have unwanted symptoms.
Eligible participants will keep taking their OCD
medication and be offered add-on treatment with
medication, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or a
placebo pill, for approximately eight weeks. The goal of
project is to determine which treatment is most
effective in helping people with OCD. Both the add-on
medication and CBT have been shown to be effective in
helping people with OCD.
For more information about participation or for a phone
screening, contact the Center for the Treatment and
Study of Anxiety in Philadelphia at 215-746-3327 or
