EEG-arousal regulation as predictor of treatment response in patients suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a neuropsychiatric disease characterized by recurrent intrusive thoughts as the obsessive part and/or repetitive ritualistic behavior as the compulsive component (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). OCD affects between 0,8 and 4% as lifetime prevalence (Angst et al, 2004; Baldwin et al, 2005; Karno et al, 1988; Robins et al, 1984) and the often chronic course is associated with high impairment in quality of life (Fontenelle et al, 2010; Hollander et al, 1996; Moritz, 2008).
