This study evaluates the therapeutic effect of a fMRI-guided and robotized neuronavigated theta burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) targeting right inferior frontal region in resistant obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, monocentric study. The study will also assess the interest of some clinical, neuropsychological, neuroimaging, electrophysiological variables in response prediction, besides physiopathological information.~There is an increasing interest in developping treatments for resistant OCD, which are not responding to the conventional treatment, represented by pharmacotherapy associated to cognitive behavioral therapy. Repetitive TMS represents a promising non invasive brain stimulation approach, but efficacy, best available brain target, optimal responder profile and stimulation parameters need to be further documented.~In this study, the included patients will be randomly assigned to an active (theta burst TMS) or sham-placebo treatment group. TMS will be added to their stable pharmacotherapy. The brain target, the right inferior frontal region, involved in the inhibition control brain network, will be defined in a personalized manner via a fMRI paradigm for each patient. TMS will be delivered daily for 2 successive weeks. Measures of different clinical, neuropsychological , electrophysiological (cortical excitability) variables will be performed at baseline, as well as at the end of the TMS course, and 1 week after. Other assessments are planned at 3 and 6 months, in order to highlight the evolution of the potential benefit.
