Core Tip Videoconferencing (VC) delivered exposure and response prevention (ERP) may be suitable for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in low-resource settings, but there are no trials. This study examined the feasibility, acceptability, efficacy, and long-term outcomes of VC-delivered ERP in 97 patients with OCD and compared its efficacy with inpatient ERP. Despite its methodological limitations, this study suggests that VC-delivered ERP was feasible, acceptable, and as efficacious as in-person ERP. Gains from VC-ERP persisted for more than 2 years. VC-delivered ERP is a viable treatment option for OCD in the resource-constrained settings of low- and middle-income countries.
