Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of D-cycloserine (DCS) augmentation of behavior therapy in individuals with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Specifically, we intend to randomize 50 individuals with BDD to receive either DCS (n = 25) or placebo (n = 25) one hour prior to 8 of 10 behavior therapy sessions.

Primary Outcome

The BDD-YBOCS is the gold-standard, semi-structured clinician-administered assessment of BDD severity. It contains 12 items ranging from 0 to 4, which are summed to generate a total score (range = 0 to 48). Higher scores indicate more severe BDD symptoms. The BDD-YBOCS will be used to assess BDD symptoms at baseline and endpoint.
