Djup hjärnstimulering vid psykiska sjukdomar visar lovande resultat - Men behandlingen är fortfarande experimentell : [Deep brain stimulation for psychiatric disorders]

• Deep brain stimulation is an established treatment for movement disorders. It has been proven to be a safe method; only minor complications have been reported in larger studies. New indications for deep brain stimulation are under investigation; among them major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Deep brain stimulation for severe and therapy-resistant major depressive disorder and obsessive compulsive-disorder shows promising results. However, the experience of deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders is limited. Several potential target areas for stimulation have been presented; which are the most effective is still an open question. Deep brain stimulation in psychiatric disorders is a highly experimental treatment and should only be performed by a multidisciplinary team with extensive experience with deep brain stimulation in other conditions.
