Summary
This study tests if deep brain stimulation (DBS) can help people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that hasn't improved with other treatments. Ten participants will have a device implanted in their brain and then compare active stimulation to a placebo (sham) to see if it reduces symptoms. The goal is to find brain signals linked to OCD and improve long-term control of the condition.
