Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD)
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Treatment Resistant Depression, Depressive Disorder, Treatment-Resistant, Depression, Bipolar
In brief
In this pilot study, we propose to test whether high frequency stimulation of the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) is a safe and efficacious antidepressant treatment in five TRD patients, to compare the effects of left-sided vs. right-sided stimulation, and to investigate potential mechanisms of action of this intervention. Importantly, this study will be used to assess the need for and assist in planning a larger, more definitive trial of SCC DBS for TRD.
