Study Summary

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation in treating people with severe and otherwise treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. We also expect to determine how DBS affects brain activity in brain circuits strongly implicated in OCD, and how such effects may relate to symptom change. This treatment study therefore also permits a unique and crucial test of current neuroanatomical models of both OCD pathogenesis and mechanisms underlying the response to treatment.
