First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study aims to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain signals in people with severe depression that hasn't improved with other treatments. Ten participants will have a DBS device implanted that can both stimulate and record brain activity. Researchers will track changes in these signals and how they relate to mood, hoping to find markers that can improve future DBS therapy.
