The findings and conclusions in this document are those of the authors, who are responsible for its content. No statement in this report should be construed as an official position of PCORI. An intervention that potentially meets inclusion criteria might not appear in this report simply because the Horizon Scanning System has not yet detected it or it does not yet meet inclusion criteria outlined in the PCORI Health Care Horizon Scanning System: Horizon Scanning Protocol and Operations Manual. Inclusion or absence of interventions in the horizon scanning reports will change over time as new information is collected; therefore, inclusion or absence should not be construed as either an endorsement or rejection of specific interventions. A representative from PCORI served as a contracting officer’s technical representative and provided input during the implementation of the Horizon Scanning System. PCORI does not directly participate in horizon scanning or assessing leads or topics and did not provide opinions regarding potential impact of interventions.

HORIZON SCANNING STATUS REPORT ● MARCH 2020 i Preface The PCORI Health Care Horizon Scanning System (HCHSS) conducts horizon scanning of new and emerging health care technologies and innovations with high potential for disruption to the current standard of care to better inform patient-centered outcomes research investments at PCORI. The HCHSS provides PCORI with a systematic process to identify and monitor technologies and innovations in health care that are in PCORI’s priority areas of interest and to create an inventory of interventions that have the highest potential for disruption to the current standard of care in terms of patient outcomes, health disparities, care delivery, infrastructure, access, and/or costs. It is also a tool for the public to identify information on selected new health care technologies and interventions. Any investigator or funder of research can use the PCORI HCHSS to help select research topics. The health care technologies and innovations of interest for horizon scanning are those that have yet to become part of established health care practices. These interventions are in late stages of research and development or very early phases of adoption, except in the case of new applications of already-diffused technologies. Consistent with the definitions of health care interventions provided by the National Academy of Medicine and the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research, PCORI is interested—at present—primarily in innovations in drugs and biologics, medical devices, and procedures within its selected priority areas of interest for horizon scanning. PCORI may choose, upon future consideration, to expand its focus to include a wider range of interventions (eg, systems innovations). Horizon scanning involves 2 processes. The first is identifying and monitoring new and evolving health care interventions that purportedly hold potential to diagnose, treat, or otherwise manage a disease or condition or to improve care delivery. The second is analyzing the relevant health care context in which these new and evolving interventions would exist to understand their potential for disruption to the standard of care. The goal of the PCORI HCHSS is not to predict future utilization and costs of any health care intervention; rather, the reports are intended to help inform and guide planning and prioritization of research resources. This edition of the Status Report is the first of 4 volumes planned for 2020 and lists topics (ie, interventions intended for a specific use within a specific patient population) that have been identified and are being monitored. Content in this report is current as of March 13, 2020. The reader should be aware that, although forward-looking statements were accurate as of this currency date, no warranty is provided regarding the accuracy of these statements at the time of publication.

A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin August, 2011 ABSTRACT OCD AS A DYNAMICAL DISEASE AND THE FAMILIAL CONTEXT OF RITUAL RIGIDITY: A NONLINEAR DYNAMICS PERSPECTIVE Robert W. Bond, Jr., B.S., M.S. Marquette University, 2011 Comparatively few studies of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have addressed the interpersonal dynamical patterns within families that could exacerbate or quell symptom severity in the ill relatives or hypothesize other roles for familial variables. Furthermore, the extant studies have relied primarily upon linear models. Methodological limitations of linear models, such as assuming that change occurs as the result of unidirectional influences and that the scores obtained for each variable are independent of each other are at variance with temporal, dynamic phenomena and have restricted the empirical investigations of the dynamics of OCD. The current study investigated whether OCD could be considered a dynamical disease such that the complex rhythmic processes that are the norm for living things would be replaced by relatively constant dynamics or by periodic dynamics.

Hood Psychology Ryerson University The purpose of this study was to examine the cognitive and neuropsychological constructs that are conceptually related to poor insight in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The relationship between dimensions of insight (Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale; BABS) and cognitive (magical thinking, paranoia/suspiciousness), metacognitive (metacognition, decentering, cognitive flexibility), and neuropsychological indices of cognitive flexibility were examined. Participants with OCD (N = 80) referred for treatment at an outpatient anxiety disorders clinic completed a clinical interview, a brief battery of neuropsychological measures, and a computer-administered questionnaire package assessing the variables of interest.

  • Self-Ambivalence in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
    Self-Ambivalence in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Sunil S Bhar Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July, 2004 Produced on acid-free paper Department of Psychology University of Melbourne ii iii Abstract According to the cognitive model, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is maintained by various belief factors such as an inflated sense of responsibility, perfectionism and an overestimation about the importance of thoughts. Despite much support for this hypothesis, there is a lack of understanding about the role of self-concept in the maintenance or treatment of OCD. Guidano and Liotti (1983) suggest that individuals who are ambivalent about their self-worth, personal morality and lovability use perfectionistic and obsessive compulsive behaviours to continuously restore self- esteem. This thesis develops a model of OCD that integrates self-ambivalence in the cognitive model of OCD. Specifically, it explored the hypothesis that the OCD symptoms and the belief factors related to the vulnerability of OCD are mechanisms that provide relief from self- ambivalence. It addressed three questions. First, is self-ambivalence related to OCD symptoms and OCD-related beliefs? Second, to what extent is self-ambivalence specific to OCD, compared to other anxiety disorders? Third, to what extent is self-ambivalence important in accounting for response and relapse of OCD to psychological interventions? In order to explore these questions, a questionnaire measuring self- ambivalence was first developed and evaluated. Non clinical and clinical participants were recruited for research. Non-clinical participants (N = 269) comprised undergraduate students (N = 226: mean age = 19.55; SD = 3.27) and community controls (N = 43; mean age = 43.78; SD = 3.92).

Cognitive theories of OCD assume that the interpretation of normal intrusive thoughts leads to the development and maintenance of the disorder. Research that supports the role of beliefs and appraisals in maintaining distress in OCD is based on the supposition that clinical obsessions are comparable to normal intrusive thoughts. This paper reviews research investigating the occurrence of intrusive thoughts in a non-clinical population, in order to assess if these thoughts are comparable to obsessions.

INHIBITION IN OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER 1 Abstract Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive, anxiety-provoking obsessions and irresistible compulsions that are performed to relieve anxiety. It is theorized that a deficit in inhibition may play a role in obsessive-compulsive symptomology. Areas of cognitive functioning that are affected by inhibition deficits may lead to obsessions and intrusive thoughts, while behavioral inhibition deficits may lead to compulsions. In the current paper, inhibition is examined in individuals with OCD, how such a deficit affects attention, recall, and response control, and how this relates to the disorder’s symptoms. A better

Patients who do not respond to one medication sometimes respond to another. Obviously, putting oneself through this process is uncomfortable and often very depressing, but letting oneself off the hook does not feel like an option. A teacher may fear she is not adequately understood when she speaks and never feels she can explain things perfectly enough. In most cases, individuals with OCD feel driven to engage in compulsive behavior and would rather not have to do these time consuming and many times torturous acts. Compulsive overeating is the inability to control one's amount of nutritional intake, resulting in excessive weight gain. This leads to more ritualistic behavior — the vicious cycle of OCD. About the Author: Stacey Kuhl Wochner. Environment An association between childhood trauma and obsessive-compulsive symptoms has been reported in some studies. It is this heightened sense of responsibility, and need to protect loved ones that often drives the person with OCD to repeat the endless cycle of ritualistic behaviours compulsions. These thoughts have to be pervasive and cause problems in health, occupation, socialization, or other parts of life. The goal of clinical trials is to determine if a new test or treatment works and is safe. Mayo Clinic does not endorse companies or products.

  • What Are People's Lay Theories About Mind Wandering and How Do Those Beliefs Affect Them?
    What Are People’s Lay Theories About Mind Wandering and How Do Those Beliefs Affect Them? Claire M. Zedelius and Jonathan W. Schooler Many of the thoughts that pass through our minds each day are disconnected from the here and now. While we may seem engaged with our current activity or environment—our eyes scanning a page of text or locking with those of a con- versation partner—our attention is often directed inwardly, to thoughts about cur- rent concerns, future plans, or fantasies. These types of thoughts, studied under the (somewhat interchangeably used) terms stimulus- or task-unrelated thoughts, de- coupled thought, daydreaming, and mind wandering (e.g., Antrobus, 1968; Singer & Schonbar, 1961; Smallwood & Schooler, 2006), are often spontaneous and unsolicited (Seli, Carriere, & Smilek, 2014; Seli, Risko, Smilek, & Schacter, 2016), yet occupy an astonishing 30–50% of our waking life (Kane et al., 2007; Killingsworth & Gilbert, 2010; Klinger & Cox, 1987; McVay, Kane, & Kwapil, 2009), with far-reaching and often negative consequences for our performance (see Mooneyham & Schooler, 2013 for a review), mood (Franklin et al., 2013; Killingsworth & Gilbert, 2010), and safety (e.g., Galera et al., 2012). Sometimes stimulus-unrelated thoughts have an intrusive character. Intrusive thoughts tend to be repetitive and revolve around fears or traumatic events (Clark & Rhyno, 2005). Like normal mind wandering, intrusive thoughts are highly common among healthy individuals (Clark & Rhyno, 2005), but they are also a hallmark feature of a surprising range of disorders, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder, insomnia, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Clark, 2005; Davies & Clark, 1998).
