Unique Opportunity to Personalize Deep Brain Stimulation for Severe Opioid Use Disorder Yields Highly Specific Target & Clinical Remission in a Patient
Researchers co-led by BBRF grantees have conducted a clinical test of a new way to target deep-brain stimulation (DBS)-based treatments to prevent drug craving and relapse in a patient with… Read More
Deep-Brain Stimulation Gided by Brain Mapping Resulted in Rapid & Acute Reduction in Severe OCD Symptoms in Trial Patient
A research team led by a recent BBRF grantee has developed and tested in a first patient a novel protocol designed to identify optimal personalized brain stimulation targets for severe, treatment-… Read More
“Still Depressed” or “Recovering”? Researchers Find Biomarker Signaling Recovery in Treatments for Severe Depression Using Deep Brain Stimulation
Researchers say they have identified an objective biomarker of recovery in major depression that in a small cohort of treatment-resistant patients was able (on an ongoing basis) to capture whether… Read More
Highly Individualized Deep-Brain Stimulation Helps a Patient With Severe Treatment-Resistant Depression
Over the past three years, researchers at The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)—three of them BBRF grantees and one a member of BBRF’s Scientific Council—have published three papers that… Read More
Team Uses Non-Invasive TMS Brain Stimulation to Activate Deep-Brain Region Important in Depression
A research team led by a three-time recipient of BBRF grants has successfully tested a method of using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive method of brain stimulation, to activate… Read More
