About this study
Official title: Implementation of Internet-Based Psychotherapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in Primary Health Care in Two Cities in the State of São Paulo
The aim of this study is to assess the implementation of Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) treatment in a Brazilian sample.
Researchers will compare 140 participants (70 with I-CBT and 70 in usual care to see if the treatment is feasible.
Participants will undergo online treatment for OCD, lasting 10 to 14 weeks.
Read the detailed description
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) affects 2 to 3% of the adult population worldwide. The efficacy of pharmacological therapy with IRS and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is well recognized, but the clinical spectrum of OCD symptoms makes it difficult for patients to engage in sessions outside the home, decreasing treatment adherence. CBT is a psychological intervention increasingly delivered over the internet, with studies showing its efficacy in patients with OCD. The present study aims to verify the efficacy of implementing internet-based psychotherapy (I-CBT) in the context of a developing country, identifying the barriers and facilitators of this implementation. It will be a pragmatic, randomized-controlled, parallel, open-label, two-arm clinical trial. The implementation will be carried out in the cities of Indaiatuba and Jaguariúna, state of São Paulo, in all their Basic Health Units, in which 140 participants will be randomized between the I-CBT and usual treatment (UT) groups. Results will be assessed post-treatment and at 3- and 12-month follow-up. The hypothesis is that I-CBT is an effective and feasible treatment modality for OCD in a large Brazilian sample.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Y-BOCS
Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale. (range from 0 to 40). The lower the score on the scale, the lower the severity or the greater the reduction of symptoms.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 10 weeks. 3 and 12 months after end of treatment
Secondary outcomes (2)
PHQ-9
Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (range 0 to 27). The lower the score on the scale, the lower the severity or the greater the reduction of symptoms
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 10 weeks. 3 and 12 months after end of treatment
GAD-7
Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (range 0 to 21). The lower the score on the scale, the lower the severity or the greater the reduction of symptoms.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 10 weeks. 3 and 12 months after end of treatment

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing internet-CBT in people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 3 sites in Brazil.
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 2 inclusion and 8 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Brazil. 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.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Y-BOCS (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 10 weeks. 3 and 12 months after end of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06658756, which also lists 21 linked publications.
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 13 Nov 2024.
