Enhancing motivation for exposure to disgust - A feasibility study with a non-clinical sample
Publication date: Available online 23 February 2020Source: Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related DisordersAuthor(s): Jakob Fink, Juliane Lüders, Cornelia ExnerAbstractThe most effective therapy for patients with a contamination-related sub-type of obsessive-compulsive disorder is exposure with response prevention. However, several studies show that a notable proportion of patients do not benefit from exposure. One possible reason is the high functionality of compulsive thoughts and actions in shortly reducing aversive thoughts and feelings, which might cause high ambivalence and low willingness towards exposure.

Little evidence for neurometabolite alterations in obsessive-compulsive disorder - A systematic review of magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies at 3 Tesla
In this study, we systematically reviewed studies that used 3 Tesla 1H-MRS to investigate neurometabolite concentrations in OCD patients versus healthy controls. We also reviewed associations between neurometabolite concentrations and symptom severity and the effect of treatment. Out of the 1161 articles that were identified by our literature search, 22 articles met our inclusion criteria for this review. Most studies did not demonstrate any neurometabolite abnormalities in OCD patients compared with controls, but some mixed results were found depending on the region of interest. The most consistent findings showed lower g...

A network analysis of hoarding symptoms, Saving and acquiring motives, and comorbidity
We examined the associations between hoarding symptoms and associated clinical features using network analysis in a large sample of individuals with established hoarding disorder (n = 217) and matched healthy controls (n = 130). Network nodes included the three core features of hoarding (difficulties discarding, clutter, and acquiring), along with comorbid symptoms, impairment, and saving and acquiring motives. Models showed hoarding and comorbid symptoms as separate syndromes. Healthy and patient networks differed significantly in both global network strength and structure. For the hoarding patient network, the co...
