Core Features Study  Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
Study Type: Clinical
Study Ends On: Ongoing
This study is to study brain connections and how the brain functions in people who suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, and hoarding.
Diffusion Tensor Imaging In OCD  Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
Study Type: Clinical
Study Ends On: Ongoing
This study examines imaging and symptom ratings of a matched control group compared to a group of OCD patients who have had gamma knife surgery.
Exploring the healthy brain  Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
Study Type: Clinical
Study Ends On: Ongoing
In order to better understand and treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) Project STIM sets out to identify the differences in functionality between the brains of individuals who have OCD and those that do not (healthy participants).
Gamma Knife Surgery for OCD  Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders

Study Type: Clinical
Study Ends On: Ongoing
The Imaging Dementia—Evidence for Amyloid Scanning (IDEAS) Study will determine the clinical usefulness on patient-oriented outcomes of a brain positron emission tomography (PET) scan that detects amyloid plaques, a core feature of Alzheimer’s disease.
Project EPIC  Mood Disorders
Study Type: Clinical
Study Ends On: Ongoing
Project EPIC is a research study that is investigating the brain regions responsible for inhibitory control, and whether these regions can be changed using non-invasive brain stimulation.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Chronic Low Back Pain Research Study  Other
Study Type: Clinical
Study Ends On: Ongoing
We are studying a new device for treating chronic low back pain (CLBP) and are enrolling adults age 18+ in a clinical research trial. If you have been diagnosed with CLBP by a physician for at least 6 months, have tried at least one physician-recommended pain medicine, and have no current diagnosis of substance dependence, you may be eligible to participate. We will use a method for stimulating the brain, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), to attempt to change the way you feel about your pain.
