DBS is safe and effective for treatment-resistant obsessive–compulsive disorder that can be expected to produce significant clinical benefit in about 2 out of 3 cases, but insurance rarely pays.

Researchers have warned that the treatment carries a risk of complications.

THURSDAY, Sept. 22, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- When traditional treatments fail to help patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), an implant that zaps the brain with electrical pulses just might,

Around 750,000 Britons are thought to be living with the condition, which can leave sufferers obsessed with washing their hands, tidying up and checking that doors are locked.

PHILADELPHIA — An endovascular brain-computer interface allowed those who are paralyzed to perform computer-based activities, according to a presenter at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons annual meeting. “[The trial] was designed to address a problem, and that is paralysis. There are 5 million people in the United States living with paralysis,” J Mocco, MD, MS,

Scientists have been able to observe brain activity linked with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in more detail than ever before – and if these neural signals can be identified, it opens up the possibility of being able to change them as well.

A team of researchers surgically implanted brain stimulators in five patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to not only treat their

Researchers are exploring for brain signals that mark when someone is experiencing OCD symptoms in order to shape future brain stimulation treatments.

Researchers hope that an adaptive DBS that can adjust stimulation intensity in response to symptoms may provide more relief and fewer side effects for patients.
