“Conclusions: Based on our findings, there is a strong correlation between OCD and different inflammatory as well as rheumatological biomarkers. Such correlations have been demonstrated in both adult and pediatric populations. Future studies should examine the safety and efficacy of anti-inflammatory medications, especially NSAIDs, for the management and control of OCD symptoms in both adults and children, particularly in the early stages of the disease.”
