Summary
TETRO is a multi-center placebo-controlled double-blind randomized controlled trial with an intervention phase of 5-7 weeks and a follow-up phase of 12 months in 250 adult (18 years and older) OCD patients who show no/insufficient response to ERP, aiming to establish the cost-effectiveness of low frequency (1 Hz) rTMS to the pre-SMA (compared to sham rTMS to the pre-SMA) as adjuvant treatment to exposure with response prevention (ERP). The treatment consists of 4 times/week rTMS combined with ERP for at least 5 weeks (20 sessions), with optional extension phase of 1 or 2 weeks (maximum of 28 sessions in total).
