Within the project iCBT-OCD (Study on Internet-based treatment of children and adolescents with an obsessive-compulsive disorder), the use of Internet-based psychotherapy for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorders is being investigated in a total of 60 children and adolescents. The aim is to supplement traditional psychotherapeutic treatment with internet-based interventions and to facilitate access to treatment in accordance with guidelines. Thanks to the internet-based approach, the therapy can be carried out directly in the patients' home environment, thus enabling the treatment method of exposure with reaction management. This has proven its worth regarding obsessive-compulsive disorders, to be carried out in the environment where the compulsions usually occur most frequently. A further advantage of internet-based procedures is the high acceptance of a digital approach among adolescents. It also enables families who do not have access to specialist therapists close to their homes to receive professional treatment.

Methodology

Therapy in home environment
Patients are treated online with cognitive-behavioural state-of-the-art methods in 14 video-sessions. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms and physiological data are recorded via smartphone app and physiology wristband. There are 2 groups of patients to check the change in the compulsions:
- Treatment group (TG): immediate start of treatment
- Waiting group (WG): 16-week waiting period until the start of therapy
Participants are randomly assigned to groups using a computer program.
