Intervention(s)
Intervention 1: Intervention Group 1: Twenty medical treatment - resistant patients suffering from obsessive compulsive disorders will be entered in this group. They will receive brain electrical stimulation (Transcranial direct current stimulation) while getting no medication. Therapy will be carried out in four thirty-minute sessions with one-week interval between each two sessions and music will be played to calm the patients during electrical stimulation. Follow up visits will be one and three month later. Comparing to the other noninvasive stimulation, TDCS is a new and noninvasive brain electrical stimulation method that is safe, low cost and simply designed in order to use in outpatient settings. Intervention 2: Intervention Group 2: Twenty medical treatment - resistant patients suffering from obsessive compulsive disorders will be entered in this group. Treatment consists of sufficient dose of Serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), Fluoxetine 80 mg or Setraline 200 mg, daily in combination with brain electrical stimulation. Therapy will be carried out in four thirty-minute sessions with one-week interval between each two sessions and music will be played to calm the patients during electrical stimulation. Follow up visits will be one and three month later. Comparing to the other noninvasive stimulation, TDCS is a new and noninvasive brain electrical stimulation method that is safe, low cost and simply designed in order to use in outpatient settings.
