ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "Impact of Attention on Obsessive Thoughts Through THOUGHT," is studying how attention affects obsessive thoughts in people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) as well as those without the condition. The researchers are using a special tool called the THOUGHT-scale to look at the types of thoughts people have and how much attention those thoughts require in different situations. The goal is to better understand OCD and improve treatments for those who struggle with it.

To participate in this trial, you need to be over 15 years old and either have OCD or be someone without the condition. If you have OCD, you can join if you are being treated at Albert Chenevier Hospital. For those without OCD, participation is available if you are consulting or being admitted to GH Henri Mondor. It's important to note that individuals with certain mental health conditions, like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, cannot participate. Participants can expect to share their experiences and thoughts in a supportive environment, helping researchers learn more about how attention influences obsessive thinking.
