Brief Summary:
This study will investigate the use of deep brain stimulation DBS to reduce symptom severity and enhance the quality of life for patients with treatment-refractory major depression
Detailed Description:
Despite advances in pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy for major depression a substantial number of patients fail to improve significantly even after years of conventional and experimental interventions Bilateral deep brain stimulation DBS to the region of the anterior capsuleventral striatum is an adjustable and reversible procedure that may be a more effective treatment for patients with major depression This study will determine the effectiveness safety and tolerability of DBS in patients with treatment-refractory major depression
