Study Details
Brain Recordings for People with Deep Brain Stimulation for Severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
(IRB#: IRB_00169174)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder causes a person to have constant thoughts that can lead to repeated behaviors that may severely disrupt a persons life. This study will look at the effects of deep brain electrical stimulation therapy (small electrodes implanted in a persons brain that send mild amounts of electricity) on a patient with this disorder who has already been implanted with the Deep Brain Stimulation system. The study aims to better understand the relationship between brain activity, behavior, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder symptoms to help people with this disorder. People in this study will have the already recorded brain activity they received as standard of care collected and analyzed. Being in the study may last as long as the participant receives stimulation therapy and wants to participate.
