Summary
This study aimed to improve how doctors target deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that hasn't improved with medication. Researchers planned to use brain scans to personalize the placement of electrodes. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
