Needs Statement
Patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who have failed to respond to a range of conventional therapies may benefit from deep brain stimulation (DBS), which is available under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) from the FDA. Obstacles to employing this treatment option, however, include lack of knowledge about patient selection, surgical techniques, and DBS programming. Attendees will learn about patient selection for DBS, assessment, surgical planning, and programming -- all information needed for enhancing clinical outcomes.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to:
- Apply the inclusion and exclusion criteria for eligibility of patients with OCD to undergo DBS
- Define the role of cognitive behavioral therapy, specifically ERP, in the assessment of candidates for DBS
- List the benefits of re-introducing cognitive behavioral therapy, specifically ERP, after DBS
- Describing the techniques and challenges in conducting DBS programming for OCD
Target Audience
This activity is for psychiatrists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with severe and treatment-resistant OCD and functional Neurosurgeons interested in advancing their knowledge and skills in performing DBS for OCD.
Educational Methods
Lecture and Small Group Breakout Sessions
