Deep brain stimulation is an established treatment for people with movement conditions. These conditions include essential tremor, Parkinson's disease and dystonia. It's also used for psychiatric conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure that uses electricity to directly stimulate sites in the brain. DBS can be used to treat severe OCD or depression in patients who have not responded to other treatments.
Deep brain stimulation is a treatment that involves implanting a small device into the brain. It offers hope for those living with treatment-resistant depression.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment that involves an implanted device that delivers an electrical current directly to areas of your brain. That current improves how well those parts work. It’s most often used for conditions like Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy, but researchers are investigating if it can help many other conditions too.
Most brain stimulation therapies are new or still being tested. But researchers think they may be helpful tools for people with treatment-resistant depression. Let’s look at three of them.
In a new neuroimaging study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, researchers used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to target regions deep in the brain to help reduce depression symptoms.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an experimental treatment strategy which uses an implanted device to help patients with severe depression who have reached a point where no other treatment works.
Deep brain stimulation has been extensively studied as a therapeutic option for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). DBS across different targets is associated with on average 60% response rates in previously refractory chronically depressed patients.
