Conditions

Summary

This study investigates whether caloric vestibular stimulation can modulate a measure of insight in obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 65 Years

Inclusion Criteria5

  • Age 18-65
  • Primary diagnosis of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Illness Anxiety Disorder or Somatic Symptom Disorder (excluding "with predominant pain")
  • Strongly held OCRD-related concerns meeting BABS score criterion.
  • No recent change in psychopharmacological treatment, if any
  • Capacity to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria3

  • Psychiatric or medical conditions (eg, vertigo, history of otological surgery) that might make participation unsafe
  • Pregnant or nursing women
  • Active or recent substance use

Interventions

OTHERCaloric Vestibular Stimulation

Cold water creates a convection current in the semicircular canal of the vestibular apparatus, leading to brief (\<3 min) and typically well tolerated sense of rotational movement. Similar stimulation is routinely used in standard vestibular diagnostic testing.
