The rationale for using RSA stems from polyvagal theory [15], which posits a hierarchy of states of parasympathetic-sympathetic functioning. Studies have shown that up to 43% of pediatric patients with ASD also meet the criteria for at least one other anxiety disorder, including OSD. 0000012382 00000 n At the end of each resting period, participants were asked to indicate their subjective level of contamination experienced during the last 2 min by pointing to the appropriate spot on a 15-cm line with the endpoints labeled “not at all contaminated” and “extremely contaminated.” Each response was quantified as the distance in centimeters from the lower endpoint. 0000021746 00000 n OCD causes the patient’s social life to decrease or otherwise harms it. 0000008354 00000 n 0000022206 00000 n 0000032027 00000 n The paradigm used in this experiment was developed previously in a series of studies with non-patient participants [16].

Accordingly, possible brain regions of hypoactivity in OCD are neural sites elaborating proprioceptive feedback from the performance of species-typical security-related motor actions. OCD research papers: point 3. Click through the PLOS taxonomy to find articles in your field. In addition, after both the fixed and free washes, participants likewise made a rating of their sense of satisfaction from their hand washing. 0000003414 00000 n A limitation of Experiment 1 is that it considered only one subtype of OCD, namely, washers. Such failure would explain why, in OCD, security motivation persists abnormally long and drives compulsive and obsessive behaviors. Discover a faster, simpler path to publishing in a high-quality journal. Those authors propose that the pathological impairment is in “behavioral inhibition,” a form of fronto-executive control over motor responding. The subsequent 2-min resting period with eyes closed allowed the collection of the final sample of RSA data. The corresponding MANCOVA of satisfaction yielded the same two significant effects: for Group×Simulus×Time, F(2, 106) = 3.13, p<.05, partial eta-squared = .06; and for Group×Time, F(1, 106) = 30.01, p<.001, partial eta-squared = .22. The present research investigated two alternative ways of explaining such behavior: (1) a dysfunction of activation—a starting problem—in which the level of excitation in response to stimuli suggesting potential danger is abnormally strong; versus (2) a dysfunction of termination—a stopping problem—in which the satiety-like process for shutting down security-related thoughts and actions is abnormally weak. But years ago, much less was known about it than is known today. 0000005370 00000 n 0000021561 00000 n According to this account, in OCD, threat concerns would be too readily or too intensely triggered by stimuli [12]. These stop feedback pathways are proposed to innervate the limbic striatum and frontal cortex, and arrest the reverberant activity in the orbitofrontal-basal-ganglia circuit via serotonergic neurotransmission [3], [4]. The participant remained seated throughout the experiment and was able to reach the sink at the required times by simply rotating the chair. However, there was no significant difference between the OCD patients and the controls in this initial SMS response. For more information about PLOS Subject Areas, click Materials and apparatus were as described for Experiment 1. From this framework, OCD is basically a disorder in the regulation of a normal motivational system [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. Experiment 1 was designed to evaluate the following hypothesis: The problem in OCD is a reduced ability of security-related behavior to terminate motivation evoked by potential danger, rather than a heightened initial sensitivity to potential threat. Yes There were no significant effects of Medication Type on RSA, either as a main effect or in interaction with Stimulus (diapers or Styrofoam) and Time of Measurement. Hence, it would make sense to search for brain regions of hypoactivity in OCD, which may reflect dysfunctional negative-feedback, stopping pathways. The bulk of the article reviews the treatment-outcome literature on ERP for OCD and includes comparisons with cognitive therapy—the “new kid on the block” with respect to At the end of the study, all participants completed the Padua-R. here. 0000003490 00000 n A third possibility is that the stopping deficit in each OCD patient tends to be specific to a particular domain of potential threats. This approach of citation analysis provides an opportunity to retrieve the classic articles on OCD, and describes the trends in OCD research. In two experiments, 70 patients with OCD (57 with washing compulsions, 13 with checking compulsions) and 72 controls were exposed to contamination cues—immersing a hand in wet diapers —and later allowed to wash their hands, first limited to 30 s and then for as long as desired. Specifically, they were told, “You have 30 seconds to wash, so if you are still washing after 30 seconds, I will ask you to stop.” A subsequent 2-min resting period with eyes closed allowed the collection of the third sample of RSA data. They lend support to the security-motivation theory of OCD (Szechtman & Woody, 2004) and have important implications both for research into the biological mechanisms underlying OCD and for the development of new treatment approaches. ALH was supported by a Frederick Banting and Charles Best Canada Graduate Scholarship (CIHR GSD-104525). In contrast, our theoretical model of the “stop” signal is aligned more with the motivational construct of “satiety,” and considers how the course of behavior aroused by a particular motivation comes to its normal end upon attainment of the goal object. When Reed analyzed the phenomenology of compulsive experiences in OCD, he found that the most common experience reported was an inability to stop—for instance, “I can't move on because I can't convince myself that I've finished what I'm doing” [14] (p.127). Further details of the participants are provided in Table 1. 0000016270 00000 n The foregoing experiment with OCD washers provided some evidence against the first two of these alternative possibilities, in that these patients did not show any indication of a starting problem in response to the threat of contamination. Behavioral ModelsB. All participants were prescreened to ensure no known problems involving heart or lung function and no known allergies. Note that the model predicts enhanced re-activation to potential threat stimuli, but normal activation upon first exposure (indeed, we found no initial hypersensitivity in our experiment with OCD washers). 0000003340 00000 n Error bars represent 1 SE. Subjective ratings (e.g., contamination) and behavioral measures (e.g., duration of hand washing) were also collected.

The adjusted means for satisfaction and wash duration appear in the other two panels of Figure 3. In short, even with substantially longer washing, the OCD patients did not achieve the level of satisfaction of the control participants. The present research investigated two alternative ways of explaining such behavior: (1) a dysfunction of activation—a starting problem—in which the level of excitation in … Article Categories Subtypes of OCD Co-occurring Disorders & Related Disorders OCD Treatment Family Issues Mental Health … In summary, OCD can be characterized either as a problem of starting (hypersensitivity to potential threat stimuli) or as a problem of stopping (dysfunction of a satiety-like, negative feedback mechanism). Funding: This research was supported by operating grants from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR MOP-74553 and CIHR MOP-64424). However, individual suffering, functional impairments as well as the direct and indirect costs associated with the disease remain substantial. Selective and personalized neuromodulation of orbitofrontal beta–gamma rhythms in humans, achieved with an alternating current, robustly attenuates obsessive–compulsive behavior for 3 months. This finding is inconsistent with the hypothesis, proposed by some theorists [12], that OCD stems from heightened sensitivity to activation by potential threats. Building on the work of Reed [13], [14], we argued that characterizing OCD as a pathology of stopping better captures the behavioral profile of the disorder [3], [4]. Further details of the participants are provided in Table 1. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0030586.t001. Department of Psychology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, Affiliation Then pass to describing the symptoms of the disorder in your research paper on OCD. First, although exposure with response prevention (ERP), the prevailing psychotherapeutic treatment for OCD, is quite effective, a sizeable proportion of patients do not comply with or find they cannot tolerate ERP. One possible explanation is that OCD patients have a specific starting problem, but no stopping problem at all, as argued by some investigators [12]. According to polyvagal theory, there is an intermediate state, occurring when attention is drawn to the environment because of potential threat or novelty, in which parasympathetic influence is reduced, so that the sympathetic system can be triggered quickly if it turns out to be required later. Until relatively recently, information was not readily available on the Internet. �yujV��Rr�����eU�y���Z��֮=��I[�VM]�n{�E��+�\�R�n�$tn,T�9��͑�Ѫ�g�S�*. The corresponding MANCOVAs for contamination, wash duration, and satisfaction also yielded Group×Time of Measurement interactions that did not approach significance: F(2, 23) = 1.13, ns; F(1, 24) = .55, ns; and F(1, 24) = 1.63, ns, respectively. To provide an analogy, gastric loading with water rather than food can suppress hunger albeit briefly compared to a nutrient meal, and consequently the motivation to eat will emerge more quickly due to the absence of delayed metabolic inhibitory factors. Moreover, we propose that a deficiency of the delayed components makes OCD patients particularly susceptible to re-activation by potential threat. OCD Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Research Update Three recently published studies shed light on current and future treatments. It is the effects of those metabolic factors on brain circuits that suppress the re-appearance of hunger motivation for an extended period of time [33], [34], [35], [36]. article with a review of the development of ERP from early animal research on avoidance learning conducted during the 1950s. Normally, this signal is of sufficient duration to allow the appearance of time-delayed signals as a result of postingestive metabolism of nutrients [30], [31], [32]. 0000041267 00000 n PLoS ONE 7(1): No, Is the Subject Area "Hand washing" applicable to this article? These citation classics provide an important insight into the historical developments, like the role of serotonin and caudate in OCD. Error bars represent 1 SE. An initial 2-min, eyes-closed resting period allowed the collection of the baseline RSA. 0000024235 00000 n The results of these experiments show that OCD reflects impairment in the ability of security-related behavior to terminate motivation evoked by potential danger, rather than a heightened initial sensitivity to potential threat. The patients were recruited through the McMaster University Medical Centre (Hamilton Health Sciences) (33 participants) or advertisements in the general community (24 participants). Heart rate varies in association with spontaneous breathing, and the degree of this variability, measured as RSA, reflects the influence of a vagal brake on the cardiac pacemaker, inhibiting the heart from beating at its intrinsically higher rate [15]. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental illness where a person suffers from unwanted, intrusive thoughts and mental or behavioural rituals. For all participants in Experiment 2, the potentially contaminated stimulus was the wet diapers, as used in Experiment 1. CiteScore values are based on citation counts in a range of four years (e.g. For example, an OCD washer would be hypersensitive to activation by threats of contamination, but not other potential threats. As for Experiment 1, the RSA change data were submitted to multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), with baseline RSA, age, and sex as covariates. After a description of the study to the participants, written informed consent was obtained. In particular, it may be explained to patients that OCD symptoms occur in response to cues that activate a normal, biologically primal motivational system that protects people from potential danger. Next, participants engaged in a prescribed 30-second period of hand washing. Note: * p<.05 vs. controls at the same time of measurement. A MANCOVA of wash duration with age and sex as covariates yielded two statistically significant interactions with Group: the three-way interaction of Group, Stimulus, and Time of Measurement, F(2, 106) = 8.34, p<.001, partial eta-squared = .14; and the two-way interaction of Group and Time of Measurement, F(1, 106) = 37.98, p<.001, partial eta-squared = .26. 0000014715 00000 n Statistical tests were based on Pillai's trace. This emphasis on proprioceptive feedback mechanisms is consistent with the theory of motor control as active inference [70]. The results for actual wash duration and satisfaction clarify the overall picture. In OCD, failure of proprioceptive sensory feedback to fulfill the predicted patterns of sensory signals could generate a mismatch or error signal, which in turn might interfere with the stop-feedback function of corrective actions. For each of the two diaper conditions, seven of the diapers were piled in a hospital wastebin labeled Pediatrics; in the Styrofoam-beads condition, a similar but unlabeled container was used. Importantly, this stop mechanism is distinctly different from the type of stop mechanisms proposed by several other investigators as impaired in OCD [51], [52], [53], [54], [55] and impulsivity [54], [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], [61]. Cognitive ModelsD. According to this account, in OCD, threat concerns may be elicited in the normal way, but once these concerns are activated, security-related behaviors are abnormally ineffective in turning these concerns off. No, Is the Subject Area "Behavior" applicable to this article? Information Processing in OCDIII. Alternatively, if the stopping deficit is specific to the type of threat characteristic of the patient's symptoms, then the results for the OCD checkers should closely resemble those for the non-patient controls. OCD Action believes that research plays a vital role in improving the quality of treatment available for people with OCD. In the analysis of RSA, there were two statistically significant interactions with Group (OCD patients vs. controls): the three-way interaction of Group, Stimulus, and Time of Measurement, F(4, 210) = 4.48, p<.01, partial eta-squared = .08; and the two-way interaction of Group and Time of Measurement, F(2, 104) = 23.11, p<.001, partial eta-squared = .31. 2016-2019) to peer-reviewed documents (articles, reviews, conference papers, data papers and book chapters) published in the same four calendar years, divided by … Why do OCD patients tend to have difficulty with only a particular domain of security concerns, but not all? 0000029297 00000 n New research suggests that activity in different brain areas may distinguish between those who would do well with different types of OCD therapy. 0000018016 00000 n The essential prediction of the model above is that in OCD patients, the security motivation system, once activated, does not fully deactivate with corrective behavior, in that the system becomes sensitized to re-activation by potential threats. The relative absence of OCD symptoms was confirmed using the Padua-R: All control participants had total scores of less than 29 and contamination and checking subscale scores of less than 14. Except for their intensity and persistence, these pathological acts closely resemble normal security-related behavior [1], [2]. For the measurement of RSA, the ECG signal was sampled at 2000 Hz and amplified using the Biopac data acquisition system. The neural origin of these stopping pathways is likely in the brainstem, as elaborated elsewhere [3], [4]. Next, I discuss the mechanisms of ERP. Although compulsive responses are blocked in ERP treatment, recent research indicates that this is not necessary for treatment success; indeed, the opposite possibility, response intensification, may be as effective [72]. Future Directions Compared to controls, OCD patients with washing compulsions did not differ significantly in their levels of initial activation to the threat of contamination; however, they were significantly less able to reduce this activation by engaging in the corrective behavior of hand-washing. �E�8���5E��)����y�yy�|�|`�#����G�S��.

A contrasting explanation posits that underlying OCD is a dysfunction of termination—a stopping problem—in which there is failure of the normal process of termination of such security-related thoughts and actions. 0000004919 00000 n The Padua-R [19] was used to evaluate OCD symptom severity: All patients had total scores of at least 29, contamination subscale scores of at least 14, and a higher score on the contamination subscale than on the checking subscale.

Biological ModelsF. In other words, OCD patients can partially compensate for their deficient ‘stop’ mechanism by increasing the amount of corrective behavior, but this compensation does not generate the long-term “satiation” signal. 0000021089 00000 n In addition, the results of that experiment lent support to the third possibility by showing a stopping deficit. Background Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a serious mental health problem that causes significant impairment and reduced quality of life. 0000076026 00000 n 0000010529 00000 n In a similar manner, we hypothesize that there are both immediate and delayed components to the stop signal that deactivates security motivation. }k���ś|������a�?�=�V��O�T�sI�n��uj;�p�YS�km��t�3�����O�{����H��;��J~��S������\�+r��5X��dV��ف����yސ7����\a� W�+�� 0000008451 00000 n 0000011849 00000 n Many individuals with OCD also expe-rience other Axis I disorders, such as mood and anxiety prob-lems (4), This article provides an overview of the development of effective psychological treatments for OCD, together with a review of the latest treatment-outcome research, CBT is the most effective form of treatment for 0000026049 00000 n Cognitive TreatmentsE. Figure 1 depicts the relevant adjusted means. The research reviewed in this article highlights several important dimensions of how to conceptualize and execute treatment for OCD. This question can be addressed in terms of the distinction between starting versus stopping mechanisms raised earlier. Thus, manipulation of compulsive behavior patterns and their negative-feedback function may offer new avenues for treatment. In these experiments, rather than relying only on subjective report, we employed respiratory sinus arrythmia (RSA) as an objective measure of the activation of security motivation. 0000012496 00000 n Research suggests that OCD could involve problems in communication between the brain and deeper structures although this is not proven. The most important data in this experiment are the RSA values at three times of measurement: after contact with the stimulus (diapers or Styrofoam), after the fixed 30-second wash, and after the subsequent free wash. For each participant, these RSA values were subtracted from baseline RSA, so that higher scores represent higher levels of SMS activation. Participants washed their hands at a sink fitted with an automatic, motion-activated faucet that was preset to deliver a consistent flow of warm water (at about 25°C). The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), individuals feel compelled to repeatedly perform security-related behaviors, even though these behaviours seem excessive and unwarranted to them. Of several plausible interpretations for this finding, a particularly interesting one is a hypothesis that distinguishes immediate and delayed effects of a stop-signal deficiency in OCD. In obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), individuals feel compelled to perform certain security-related behaviors over and over again, such as washing their hands or checking that a door is locked, even though these repetitive behaviours typically seem excessive and unwarranted to them. The perspective advanced here provides a different way of explaining to patients the underlying nature of their difficulties, which, by linking OCD to normal psychology, may connect better with their experiences, thus providing a more acceptable rationale for treatment and enhancing persistence with its difficult challenges. For example, a patient for whom washing is relatively ineffective in shutting down activation related to contamination threat may not have difficulty in terminating activation in response to other types of potential threats.
