> I've gone through the DBS process and might be able to help you if you have questions. It was not a cure for me and was turned off a few years ago but I'm not ready to have it taken out. I still hold out hope that another try might be different or that they may discover something new about their methods and techniques.I'm sorry that DBS did not produce the results your were hoping for. I would be pretty angry. What site in the brain were the electrodes implanted - Brodman 25 or nucleus accumbens? How do they decide between the two? Can the outcome of DBS be predicted based upon symptom profile? Who makes the best and worst candidates for treatment?
Thanks, Bob.
