Does your child or teenager take medication for OCD?
Many children and adolescents who take medication for OCD still suffer from OCD symptoms that can interfere with school, work, and relationships with family and friends.
Dr. John March, at Duke University, Dr. Martin Franklin, at the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Henrietta Leonard, at Brown University, are conducting a multi-site study evaluating the effectiveness of adding two different types of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to ongoing medication management for the treatment of pediatric OCD that does not respond completely to medication treatment.
Participants in this study will receive medication management free of charge. In addition, they may be assigned to receive CBT at no cost from a psychiatrist or a psychologist.
Children ages 7-17 with a diagnosis of OCD, who are taking fluoxetine (Prozac), sertaline (Zoloft), or fluvoxamine (Luvox), and who still have residual OCD symptoms may be eligible. Children taking citalopram (Celexa) or excitalopram (Lexapro) may also be eligible.
Participants must live within commuting distance of Raleigh/Durham, NC, Philadelphia, PA, or Providence, RI.
