Both ERP and ERP + CT were effective, however a course of ERP + CT was significantly more effective at reducing symptoms of OCD than the ERP treatment condition. Significantly more participants who received ERP + CT experienced clinically significant change in OCD symptoms compared to those who received ERP. OCD symptom dimension did not significantly impact response to either ERP or ERP + CT treatments.
