Dr. Sameer Sheth, Dr. Wayne Goodman, Dr. Steven Bellows, and their colleagues at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, have recently demonstrated favorable outcomes using a new DBS approach that targets two distinct brain regions to simultaneously treat OCD and TS.

A first-of-its-kind collaborative study led by researchers at Texas Children’s Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, and Brigham & Women’s Hospital has found that mapping neural connections in the brains of OCD patients offers key insights that explain the observed improvements in their clinical outcomes after DBS. The study was published in Biological Psychiatry.
