Pierce, R Christopher; Vassoler, Fair M
- Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has achieved substantial success as a treatment for movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease. The therapeutic efficacy and relative lack of serious side effects resulted in the expansion of DBS into the treatment of many other diseases, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, Tourette's, and depression, among others. More recently, a limited number of basic and clinical studies indicated that DBS may also be useful in the treatment of various addictions.
