Study Summary
Voluntary and involuntary attention processes are thought to play an important role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders including OCD. Individuals with OCD pay greater attention to threat information related to their illness and have difficulty shifting their attention from such triggers. Studies suggest that a change in attention bias may lead to a change in anxiety vulnerability. However, few studies have directly examined the causal role of attention bias in the maintenance of anxiety underlying OCD and whether modification of such biases may reduce pathological anxiety symptoms particularly in children. In this proposal, we aim to translate basic findings from research on cognitive biases in anxiety into a novel computerized intervention for child Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The treatment is designed to target a basic cognitive vulnerability in OCD, namely the selective processing of threatening OCD-related information. 52 children with OCD will be randomly assigned to either a 12-session attention modification program (AMP) or an attention control condition (ACC). Clinical assessment of symptom severity along with a brief neurocognitive battery will be conducted before and after treatment. We hypothesize that children in the AMP group at end of treatment will show (1) decreased attention bias to OCD-related triggers using an independent measure of attention bias to assess change and (b) reduced OCD severity. This study is an initial step towards demonstrating the feasibility and efficacy of a novel computerized attention training program for OCD that ultimately may prove to be a highly transportable and accessible intervention for this childhood psychiatric disorder. Furthermore, the project will also examine neurocognitive performance before and after attention training to elucidate possible predictors and mechanisms of treatment response.
Primary Outcome
Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) and Improvement (CGI-I) Scales. The CGI-S and CGI-I are clinician-rated scales used in clinical trials for over 25 years. Participants receiving a post-treatment CGI-I score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on this one-item, 7-point rating will be considered treatment responders.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Attention Modification Program
- BEHAVIORAL Attention Control Condition
