Effectiveness and acceptability of different psychotherapies for obsessive-compulsive disorder: network meta-analysis

The authors aimed to assess the comparative effectiveness and acceptability of various psychotherapies for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Their findings indicate that while all psychotherapies were more effective than waitlist and placebo conditions, no significant differences in effectiveness or acceptability were observed among the different therapeutic approaches. However, the authors caution that these results should be interpreted carefully due to potential biases and the need for more rigorous studies.
