Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Intermittent Theta Burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation  Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation involves using Cool DB80 coil to provide magnetic stimulation of 600 pulses per session delivered in 20 trains with 8 seconds inter train interval. Each train consists of 10 pulses with a repetition rate of 50 pulses per second lasting for a total duration of 3 minutes. Area targeted will be ACC (Anterior Cingulate Cortex). 3 sessions will be given per day for a total of 30 sessions (5 days per week).  
Comparator Agent  Standard High Frequency Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation  Standard High Frequency Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation involves using Cool DB80 coil to provide magnetic stimulation of 2000 pulses per session delivered in 50 trains with 20 seconds inter train interval. Each train consists of 50 pulses with a repetition rate of 20 pulses per second lasting for a total duration of 18 minutes. Area targeted will be ACC (Anterior Cingulate Cortex). 1 session will be given per day for a total of 25 sessions (5 days per week).

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.Severity of OCD will be measured by Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale ,Clinical Global Impression, Dimensional Obsessive-Compulsive Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale scores.
2. Number of missed sessions for each group and the reason for missed sessions will be assessed.
3. Treatment completion and dropout: In each group, the number of participants completing the study despite missed sessions and the number of participants who dropout will be determined.

Brief Summary   This study is a randomized, outcome assessor  blinded , parallel group, single center trial comparing the effectiveness of Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation to standard High Frequency Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in 56 patients with drug resistant Obsessive Complusive Disorder  that will be conducted in 1 center in India. The primary outcome measures will be change in Yale Brown Obsessive Complusive scale, Clinical Global Impression, Dimensional Obsessive Compulsive Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale scores at baseline, day 12 , day 33 for control arm, follow up week 4 and week 12. The secondary outcomes will be treatment emergent adverse events after every TMS session.
