Subcallosal cingulate deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression: a multisite, randomised, sham-controlled trial

TL;DR: This study confirmed the safety and feasibility of subcallosal cingulate DBS as a treatment for treatment-resistant depression but did not show statistically significant antidepressant efficacy in a 6-month double-blind, sham-controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep brain stimulation for treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder: the search for a valid target.

TL;DR: This work reviews the ablative and DBS procedures for refractory OCD, and provides a research-driven hypothesis that highlights the ventromedial head of the caudate nucleus, and structures up- and downstream from it, as potential DBS targets for treatment-resistant disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concentric Tube Robots as Steerable Needles: Achieving Follow-the-Leader Deployment

TL;DR: This paper defines follow-the-leader deployment and provides conditions that must be satisfied for a concentric tube robot to achieve it, showing that both circular and helical precurvatures can be employed and providing an experimental illustration of the helical case.
Journal ArticleDOI

The treatment of movement disorders by deep brain stimulation.

TL;DR: The current indications, targets, outcomes, and general procedure of DBS for essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease, and dystonia are reviewed.
