This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a short, intensive treatment program for children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Over the course of one week, participants will receive cognitive behavioral therapy — a type of talk therapy that helps people understand and change the thought patterns and repetitive behaviors that characterize OCD. The goal is to see whether this concentrated, structured approach can effectively reduce OCD symptoms in young people.
OCD is a serious condition that affects 1 in 3 to 1 in 100 children and teenagers, and without treatment it often becomes long-lasting and gets worse over time. This trial exists to test whether a shorter, more intensive therapy schedule — rather than weekly sessions spread over months — might be a more effective way to help young people break free from the obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that control their lives.

If you join this trial, you will attend an intensive one-week treatment program that includes both individual therapy sessions (just you and a therapist) and group therapy sessions (with other young people in the program). Throughout the week, you'll learn skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to help you understand your obsessive thoughts and reduce the compulsive behaviors that go with them. You'll need to attend at least four days of the week to be part of the study.
