Introduction

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating psychiatric condition characterized by intrusive thoughts, urges, or images (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that are performed to alleviate distress or prevent a feared event. Despite the availability of effective treatments, a significant proportion of individuals with OCD continue to experience persistent symptoms that significantly impair their daily functioning. One promising approach to improving treatment outcomes in OCD is through the application of memory reconsolidation and extinction techniques.

Memory reconsolidation is the process by which previously consolidated memories are rendered unstable and susceptible to modification or updating through retrieval and reactivation. Extinction, on the other hand, involves the gradual reduction of a learned response when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus. Both processes have been shown to play a crucial role in the maintenance and treatment of anxiety disorders, including OCD.

This thesis aims to investigate the application of memory reconsolidation and extinction techniques in the treatment of intrusive thoughts in OCD. By targeting the underlying mechanisms of memory formation, retrieval, and updating, it is hypothesized that these techniques could enhance the effectiveness of existing interventions for OCD and lead to more lasting symptom relief.

Thesis Overview on Memory reconsolidation and extinction techniques applied to intrusive thoughts in OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating psychiatric condition characterized by intrusive thoughts, urges, or images (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that are performed to alleviate distress or prevent a feared event. Despite the availability of effective treatments, a significant proportion of individuals with OCD continue to experience persistent symptoms that significantly impair their daily functioning. One promising approach to improving treatment outcomes in OCD is through the application of memory reconsolidation and extinction techniques.

Memory reconsolidation is the process by which previously consolidated memories are rendered unstable and susceptible to modification or updating through retrieval and reactivation. Extinction, on the other hand, involves a gradual reduction of a learned response when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus. Both processes have been shown to play a crucial role in the maintenance and treatment of anxiety disorders, including OCD.

This thesis aims to investigate the application of memory reconsolidation and extinction techniques in the treatment of intrusive thoughts in OCD. By targeting the underlying mechanisms of memory formation, retrieval, and updating, it is hypothesized that these techniques could enhance the effectiveness of existing interventions for OCD and lead to more lasting symptom relief. Through a comprehensive literature review, research methodology, and discussion of findings, this thesis will provide insights into the potential benefits of integrating memory reconsolidation and extinction techniques in the treatment of OCD and outline future directions for research in this area.
