directSTIM Deep Brain Stimulation System Study
The purpose of this study is to obtain clinical outcome data on safety and effectiveness of the directSTIM DBS system when used on-label, according to the instructions for use. All participants will undergo bilateral implant in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and data collected in common practice will be recorded during …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory PTSD
Treatment refractory PTSD is a chronic and debilitating psychiatric disorder associated with high morbidity. Despite advances in neuroimaging, genetics, pharmacology and psychosocial interventions in the last half century, little progress has been made in altering the natural history of the condition or its outcome. This study would be the first …
Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy in Movement Disorders
Background In deep brain stimulation (DBS), a device called a neurostimulator is placed in the chest. It is attached to wires in parts of the brain that affect movement. DBS might help people with movement disorders like Parkinson s disease (PD), dystonia, and essential tremor (ET). Objective To provide DBS …
Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Movement Disorders
Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an approved surgery for certain movement disorders, like Parkinson's disease, that do not respond well to other treatments. DBS uses a battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (like a pacemaker) that is placed under the skin in the chest. It is used to stimulate the …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment Resistant Depression
Treatment resistant depression (TRD) is a major global health concern, and there is a crucial need to develop novel effective treatments. The medial forebrain bundle (MFB) is a recently described DBS target, with reported rapid onset of antidepressant effects. A recent small randomized trial reported a 100% response rate. The …
Neurofeedback Using Implanted Deep Brain Stimulation Electrodes
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become a gold-standard symptomatic treatment option for Parkinson's disease (PD) and is also explored for a variety of other neurological disorders. The implantation of electrodes into deep brain areas has not only enabled the application of electrical stimuli, but has also provided researchers and clinicians …
Deep Brain Stimulation Lead Localization After Implantation
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders, with more than 200,000 patients implanted with DBS devices worldwide. Parkinson's disease is one of the typical indications.The clinical outcomes of DBS depends on the accurate implantation of the lead, and the identification of …
Network Effects of Therapeutic Deep Brain Stimulation
The purpose of this study is to map the acute, short-term cortical evoked responses to thalamic electrical stimulation in persons with intractable epilepsy
Deep Brain Stimulation for Severe Anorexia Nervosa
The somatic complications as well as the suicidal risk make Anorexia Nervosa (AN) the psychiatric disease with the highest mortality rate: the standardized mortality ratio is higher than 4 and 1 in 5 patients with AN who dies has committed suicide. Approximately 20% of patients suffering from AN evolves into …
Deep Brain Stimulation for Obsessive-compulsive Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the treatment method of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients diagnosed with severe and treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). DBS will be administered into the brain area of the bed nucleus of stria terminalis (BNST). The main research questions are: Does active …
