Objectives: The objective of this study is to analyze the Clinical reports of treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Methods: Clinical reports on obsessive compulsive disorder treatment from 2001 to 2017 were searched using the following key words
in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). ‘OCD’, ‘qiangpo zheng’.

Results: A total of 22 papers were selected, 12 of which were clinical research papers and 10 case report papers.
The acupuncture and moxa treatment was more effective in relieving the clinical symptoms of OCD patients as compared to only using western medicine,
and it was also possible to reduce the ad-verse effects of western medicine.

Conclusions: It was established that Traditional Chinese medicine has some effect on the treatment of OCD,
but there were limitations as follows.
The selected papers were retrieved from only one site of CKNI and did not follow a systematic review methodology.
Therefore generalized results could not be derived, further studies should therefore be carried out.
