Study Summary

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common illness that causes significant distress and impairment. Currently, serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) are the only medications that are FDA-approved to treat OCD. Unfortunately, SRIs can take a long time to work (2-3 months), and even then they usually only partially reduce OCD symptoms. The present study, will test if intranasal ketamine is feasible to use and can reduce OCD symptoms significantly more than a comparison medication called midazolam. Therefore, you may or may not receive ketamine as part of this study. Results from this study will allow doctors and researchers to better understand if you and others with OCD may respond to this class of medications.

Primary Outcome

Patients given YBOCS (Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale), a gold standard measure of obsessions and compulsions. For the YBOCS the minimum units are 0 and Maximum units on the total scale are 40. The higher the number on the YBOCS, the more severe the symptoms. Response was defined as at least a 35% reduction on the YBOCS.

Interventions

  • DRUG Intranasal Midazolam
