Predicting Response to vALIC Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Conclusions: Clinical and demographic factors cannot yet predict outcome and should not be used to exclude patients from treatment with vALIC-DBS. These first individual prediction analyses for vALIC-DBS response in OCD are important, given that some centers up until now still exclude patients based on clinical characteristics such as comorbid personality disorders.PMID:34727424 | DOI:10.4088/JCP.20m13754
