Study | Lesion methods | Research designs | Number of patients | Time of FU (months) | Summary of results | Surgical adverse events (N) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kim et al. [35] | Focused ultra sound | Single arm | 11 | 24 months | At 12 months, 6 (54.5%) patients were responders (≥35% reduction in Y-BOCS) and 3 (27.3%) patients were partial responders (25%-35% reduction in Y-BOCS) | Insufficient heating for creating bilateral lesions (1) |
Prospective | At 24 months, 6 patients were responders, 2 (18.1%) were partial responders, and 1 had achieved full remission | |||||
Davidson et al. [36] | Focused ultrasound | Single arm | 6 (total was 12 participants; 6 had MDD without OCD) | 6-12 months | 4/6 OCD met criteria for treatment response at last follow-up (≥35% reduction in Y-BOCS) | Insufficient heating for creating bilateral lesions (1) |
Prospective | The mean Y-BOCS among all OCD patients decreased from 33.0 (±7.6) to 22.0 (±8.9) at the last follow-up | |||||
Satzer et al. [33] | LITT | Retrospective case series | 18 (1 patient received a prior DBS) | 3-51 months | 11 patients (61%) were responders Y-BOCS improved over time | Small hemorrhage without focal neurological deficit (1) and reoperation (1) |
McLaughlin et al. [34] | LITT | Retrospective case series | 9 (3 had received prior gamma knife ventral capsulotomy, which was proven to be ineffective) | 6-24 months | A total of 7 of the 9 patients were considered full responders (77.8%; Y-BOCS ≥35%) | Small hemorrhage without focal neurological deficit (1) and death after a drug overdose 7 months post-surgery (1) |
Suggested indication criteria | ||
---|---|---|
Severity | Severe OC symptoms (Y-BOCS score >28) | |
Chronicity | Symptoms of OCD with psychosocial impairment for at least 5 years | |
Treatment resistant | Unresponsive to each of the subsequent pharmacological and psychological treatments | |
More than 2 serotonin reuptake inhibitors | ||
≥2 augmentation strategies, such as the use of antipsychotic drugs (typical or atypical) or clomipramine, with adequate duration and dose | ||
≥20 h of OCD-specific Behavioral Therapy (i.e., ERP). Participation for shorter times may be permitted if nonadherence is due to symptom severity rather than to noncompliance | ||
Outcome criteria [47] | ||
Response | Y-BOCS reduction ≥35% relative to the baseline score+CGI-I 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) | |
Partial response | Y-BOCS reduction 25%-35%+CGI-I ≥3 (minimally improved) | |
Remission | Y-BOCS ≤12+CGI-S 1 (normal, not at all ill) or 2 (borderline mentally ill) ≥1 week | |
Suggested symptoms and adverse effects should be checked before and after the surgery | ||
Depression | HAM-D [48] | |
Anxiety | HAM-A [49] | |
Frontal lobe function | Neuropsychological tests (assess baseline intellectual function, change in broad range of cognitive domains, as well as change in behaviors subserved by the frontal lobe [e.g., apathy, disinhibition, and executive dysfunction]) | |
Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (self-report version) [50] | ||
Weight gain | Regular weight check | |
Suicide ideation | Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) [51] | |
Quality of life | WHQOL [52] |
