Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and explore the mechanism of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the ventral internal capsule (VIC) and nucleus accumbens (NAc) for refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Bilateral surgical implantation of DBS system

All the participants will receive bilateral surgical implantation of DBS system to VIC and NAc. The experimenter will active the DBS system and adjust the parameters for all the participants after surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

DBS system

Intervention Type DEVICE

The DBS device utilized in the present study includes a dual-channel neurostimulator kit, lead kit, extension kit, clinician-operated wireless programmer, test stimulator, and patient controller. The lead contains four stimulating contacts. The length of each contact is 1.5 mm, and the spacing between contacts is 1.5 mm.

The participants will receive stepwise surgery. The electrodes will be implanted firstly which will be externalized for several days and then the IPG will be implanted. During externalization, the experimenters will record the local field potential and electroencephalography in resting or task-based state with conditions of sham-stimulation or active-stimulation.
