A patient assessment committee should
evaluate each patient
Acceptability of capsulotomy and DBS for OCD
• 84 psychiatrists questioned
• 73 (87%) completed anonymous questionnaire

HDE is only temporary solution
To make DBS for OCD a “therapy”, one needs at
least 2 clinical trials with class A evidence

Research into DBS for therapyrefractory psychiatric disorders
Multiple targets : Anterior limb of internal capsule,
NACC, BST, STN, caudate nucleus, …
Multiple indications : OCD, major depression,
anxiety disorders, eating disorders, …
Many centers are performing this research
But NOT YET A REAL THERAPY !

Conclusions for DBS in
psychiatric disorders
• Some evidence : case reports, some randomized
controlled cross-over studies, longterm follow-up
• OCD = most close to a therapy but not a therapy
yet
• At this moment safety is comparable with safety
of DBS for PD
• It has not been shown that it is better than
lesions (e.g. anterior capsulotomy)
.
