About

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of GGRO reducing OCD related maladaptive beliefs and OCD symptoms. Specifically, a randomized controlled trial with crossover design was carried out in non-clinical population to assess pre-post changes in levels of OCD-related maladaptive beliefs and OCD symptoms, including relationship OCD (ROCD) symptoms, self-esteem, and depressive symptoms following 15 days of using GGRO.

Full description

The implementation of Information and Communication Technologies in the treatment or prevention of OCD symptoms has been significantly lower compared to with its application in other anxiety disorders.

Recently, an exploratory study evaluated a brief, game-like, training exercise for challenging OCD-beliefs delivered via a mobile application platform named GGRO. However, more studies are needed to test the efficacy.
