Abstract
Exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) technique that is well established as first line treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) [1]. The goal of exposure therapy is enhancing and facilitating patients' fear extinction processes in front of the feared object, situation or thought/obsession. Several studies have tried to enhance fear extinction through pharmacological agents with mixed results [2]. High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS), through its capacity to induce long-term potentiation, is able to modulate learning processes and hippocampal plasticity [3].
