Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

change of Y-BOCS score compared to baseline after 12 weeks of stimulation

change of Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) score compared to baseline after 12 weeks of stimulation. The Y-BOCS is a test to rate the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. Total of 10 items, total score is 40, minimum score is 0 (no symptom) , maximum score is 40 (extreme).

Time frame
12 weeks.
2

reduce rate of PANSS score compared to baseline after 12 weeks of stimulation

reduce rate of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) score compared to baseline after 12 weeks of stimulation. The PANSS is a medical scale used for measuring symptom severity of patients with schizophrenia. Composed of three scles: The positive scale has 7 items (minimum score 7, maximum score 49), negative scale has 7 items (minimum score 7, maximum score 49), general psychopathology scale has 16 items (minimum score 16, maximum score 112). Together, PANSS total score minimum 30 (no symptom), maximum 210 (extreme).

Time frame
12 weeks
3

change of Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score compared to baseline after 12 weeks of stimulation

change of Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score compared to baseline after 12 weeks of stimulation. The MADRS is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders. Total score is 54, minimum score 0 (normal/symptom absent), maximum score 54 (severe).

Time frame
12 weeks
4

change of BMI compared to baseline after 12 weeks of stimulation

change of BMI compared to baseline after 12 weeks of stimulation. Weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m\^2.

Time frame
12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Treatment efficacy rate in OCD

the number of treatment-response patient/total patient\*100% after 8/12/24 weeks of stimulation. The Y-BOCS score reduce rate ≥ 35% and Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI-I) score being 1 or 2 means treatment response.

Time frame
within 24 weeks
2

Change in Y-BOCS score compared to baseline after 8/24 weeks of stimulation. Change of Y-BOCS score in OCD

Change in Y-BOCS score compared to baseline after 8/24 weeks of stimulation. The Y-BOCS is a test to rate the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Total of 10 items, total score is 40, minimum score is 0 (no symptom) , maximum score is 40 (extreme).

Time frame
within 24 weeks
3

Change of CGI-S score in OCD

Change in CGI-S score compared to baseline after 8/12/24 weeks of stimulation. The clinical global impression (CGI) rating scales are measures of symptom severity, treatment response and the efficacy of treatments in treatment studies of patients with mental disorders. It is composed of Severity of Illness (CGI-S) and Global Improvement (CGI-I). Item or total score is not available for both scales, minimum score 0 (no symptom), maximum score 7 (extreme).

Time frame
within 24 weeks
4

Change of HAMD-17 score in OCD

Change in Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) score compared to baseline after 8/12/24 weeks of stimulation. This is a 17-item clinician-rated scale that is used to measure the severity of depression. Total score is 52, minimum socre is 0 (no symptom), maximum score is 52 (severe).

Time frame
within 24 weeks
