Electrophysiological Biomarkers to Optimize Deep Brain Stimulation for Depression
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is running a single-center experimental trial of deep brain stimulation (DBS) to the subcallosal cingulate region (Area 25) for treatment resistant depression (TRD). The goal of this study is to refine and optimize this treatment approach using a newly available neuromodulation system (the Medtronic Summit RC+S) that allows brain activity during ongoing therapeutic DBS to be recorded from the brain in real-time. This study will further define brain readouts that track depression recovery, providing novel strategies to monitor and guide treatment and device programming decisions in patients receiving DBS for TRD.
