Research team – PATH-OCD

The PATH-OCD research team is a multidisciplinary group of clinicians and researchers committed to advancing the understanding and treatment of severe, treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

PATH-OCD is an observational study conducted at Lund University and Region Skåne, following patients who receive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as part of routine clinical care. By collecting real-world clinical data, the team aims to evaluate treatment outcomes, identify factors associated with response, and contribute to the development of more effective, evidence-based treatment strategies for individuals living with treatment-resistant OCD.
