First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study aims to understand the brain and behavior patterns in people with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or bipolar disorder who are already scheduled for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. Researchers will use wearable devices like smartwatches and rings to track activity, sleep, and social behavior, and combine that with brain recordings from the DBS device. The goal is to learn how brain activity relates to symptoms, not to test a new treatment. About 12 participants will take part.
