Continuous performance test in drug-naïve patients with obsessive–compulsive disorder: A case-controlled study

Abstract

Twenty drug-naïve patients with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) were compared with matched controls on their performance of the Continuous Performance Test (CPT). There was no difference on any measure of the CPT in the two groups. Higher obsession scores, rather than compulsion scores, were associated with poorer sensitivity of the CPT in drug-naïve OCD patients.
