This study will evaluate the possible therapeutic effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in drug-naïve obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients, and the underlying neural mechanism by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG).
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of tDCS over orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in treatment of drug-naïve OCD patients. 60 drug-naïve OCD patients will be randomized into two groups (i.e. active or sham stimulation). tDCS stimulation will be performed once a day, five times a week, for two weeks. The investigators will assess symptom severity before and after two weeks of tDCS. Through the study, Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale(Y-BOCS), the Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)and side-effect questionnaire will be obtained by a trained investigator. The patients will also receive MRI scan and TMS-EEG.
