Patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) randomised to sertraline, manualised cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), or combination (sertraline + CBT), underwent cognitive assessment. Cognitive testing was conducted at baseline and at week 16. The stop signal reaction time task (SSRT) was used to evaluate motor impulsivity and attentional flexibility was evaluated using the intra/extra-dimensional set shifting task.

Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise in reducing OCD symptoms, involving a search of multiple databases until March 2022.
- The analysis included 6 trials with a total of 92 participants, revealing a significant decrease in OCD symptoms, along with reductions in anxiety and depression associated with exercise.
- Although the results indicate exercise may be beneficial for OCD treatment, the overall quality of the studies was low, highlighting the need for more rigorous and larger-scale randomized controlled trials to confirm these findings.
Background: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), incorporating exposure and response prevention (ERP) is widely recognised as the psychological treatment of choice for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Uncertainty remains however about the magnitude of the effect of CBT with ERP and the impact of moderating factors in patients with OCD.
Method: This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed randomised-controlled trials of CBT with ERP in patients of all ages with OCD.
Optimal treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder: a randomized controlled feasibility study of the clinical-effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and their combination in the management of obsessive compulsive disorder.

Established treatments for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) include cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication. Combined treatment may outperform monotherapy, but few studies have investigated this. A total of 49 community-based adults with OCD were randomly assigned to CBT, SSRI, or SSRI+CBT.

Growing evidence suggests that the neurocognitive mechanisms mediating behavioral inhibition (motor inhibition, cognitive inflexibility) reversal learning and habit formation (shift from goal-directed to habitual responding) contribute toward compulsive activity in a broad range of disorders. In obsessive compulsive disorder, distributed network perturbation appears focused around the prefrontal cortex, caudate, putamen, and associated neuro-circuitry.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey in 73 adult outpatients with DSM-IV OCD.
