To increase bandwidth and overcome packet loss in Wide Area Networks (WANs), per-packet multipath transmission and redundant transmission are increasingly being used as Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions. However, this results in out-of-order and duplicate packets in the destination network. To restore sequential and unique data streams for multiple connections, hardware packet buffers with significant depth are required due to the large delay difference between WAN paths.

It is of great clinical importance to explore more efficacious treatments for OCD. Recently, cognitive-coping therapy (CCT), mainly focusing on recognizing and coping with a fear of negative events, has been reported as an efficacious psychotherapy. However, the underlying neurophysiological mechanism remains unknown.

Background: Cognitive-coping therapy (CCT), integrating cognitive theory with stress-coping theory, is an efficacious therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, the potential brain mediation for the effectiveness remains unclear. We sought to investigate differences of resting-state brain function between OCD and healthy controls and if such differences would be changed by a four-week CCT.

Article Synopsis
  • Pharmacotherapy plus cognitive-coping therapy (pCCT) was studied as a treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), comparing it with pharmacotherapy plus psychological support (PPS).
  • In a trial with 215 OCD patients, pCCT showed significantly lower symptoms on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) both in the short-term and long-term follow-ups.
  • The results indicated pCCT had higher effectiveness in reducing severity of symptoms, with better overall results for both covert and overt compulsions compared to PPS, suggesting pCCT could be a strong treatment option for adults with OCD.

Pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are widely used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These treatments have helped many patients with OCD, but there still is room for improvement. Recently, a promising psychotherapy for OCD, cognitive-coping therapy (CCT), has been developed.

Pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are currently the most effective interventions for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These treatments, however, are time consuming and in some cases the patients do not show significant improvement. In all, 30%-60% of OCD patients do not respond adequately to pharmacotherapy and 20%-40% of OCD patients who complete CBT do not improve significantly, suggesting a more efficacious approach is needed.
