Overview

This study compared cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Finding the Right Path to Relief

The study found that both [CBT and ERP] were [superior to the control condition] in [symptom reduction]. [ERP] emerged as [marginally more effective] than [CBT] by the [end of treatment and at 3-month follow-up]. It's like finding the right path through a desert – different approaches can lead to varying degrees of relief.
