NCT ID:
NCT01983904
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of sub-callosal cingulate (SCC) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD).
The working hypotheses are that long pulse-width DBS applied to the SCC region will lead to improvements in TRD patients, and specific neuroimaging biomarkers will correlate with response to DBS; the functional recovery will be enhanced with concurrent cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
Detailed Description:
The aim is to collect data on prediction, optimization and augmentation of DBS for TRD and develop tools for DBS surgery. It is a biological pilot study designed to provide informative data for future work.
