A prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was conducted in 7 OCD patients during which 4 electrode contacts along a striatal axis were stimulated bilaterally. DBS electrode implantation followed a trajectory placing contact zero in nucleus accumbens (a common target for OCD treatment) with more proximal contacts placed in striatal segments defined using projections from prefrontal cortex subdivisions (ventromedial, orbitofrontal, dorsolateral) and anterior cingulate cortex.
