Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • score improvement on the Yale Brown Obsessive and Compulsive Scale after one month

    % of improvement compare to baseline

    1 month after treatment

    1 month after treatment

  • score improvement on the Yale Brown Obsessive and Compulsive Scale after 3 months

    3 months after treatment

Study Arms (2)

active tDCS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients will received 2 sessions per day for 5 consecutive days. Each session will last 20 minutes. The tDCS device will deliver a direct current of 2mA during 20 minutes. Cathode will be localized in front of the left orbito-frontal on the FP3 point according to the EEG international reference. Anode will be localized in front of the right cerebellum 3 cm below the inion and 1 cm right from the midline

Device: transcranial dirrect current stimulation

SHAM tDCS

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The same procedure will be applied except that the tDCS device will only deliver a current stimulation for the 10 first seconds.

Device: Sham tDCS

Interventions

The tDCS device will deliver a direct current of 2mA during 20 minutes. Cathode will be localized in front of the left orbito-frontal on the FP3 point according to the EEG international reference. Anode will be localized in front of the right cerebellum 3 cm below the inion and 1 cm right from the midline
