This study is comparing ExAblate MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Bilateral Anterior Capsulotomy with Sham FUS for people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Participants receive ExAblate MR-guided Focused Ultrasound Bilateral Anterior Capsulotomy or Sham FUS and complete study visits and assessments. Some participants may receive Sham FUS instead of the study treatment, and direct benefit is not guaranteed.
The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Stanford University in Palo Alto and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Participation appears to involve guided sessions or support activities with check-ins on how they fit into daily life. The main fit is usually being able to understand the study and consent, while common reasons not to take part include active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results and major medical issues that could make participation unsuitable. This is an early-stage study, which usually means a smaller group and a focus on learning how the approach behaves.
