Development of Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for OCD

"Summit RC+S System consists of:~(i) One Model B35300R Olympus RC+S neurostimulator; (ii) One Model 4NR009 Patient Therapy Manager; (iii) One Model 4NR011 Clinician Telemetry Module; (iv) Two Model 3387 DBS leads; (v) Two Model 37087-60 DBS extensions; and (vi) One Model 97755 Recharger."

"The subject and Independent Evaluators are blinded to timing of discontinuation. In all cases, the sequence will be as follows in one-week segments: 100% Active, 50% Active, Sham and Sham. Subjects will be seen weekly. Amplitude will be reduced by 50% at start of week 2 and turned off at start of week 3. Subjects will be told that DBS will be discontinued at some point during the 4 weeks. The purpose of the 50% initial reduction is to minimize rebound effects. The programmer (not the PI in this case) will be open to the design and perform sham activation as described previously. Relapse is defined as a 25% increase of the Y-BOCS over two consecutive visits compared to discontinuation baseline."
