This case report presents positive outcomes from deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) in two patients with treatment-resistant depression and generalized anxiety disorder. DBS effects in the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) area were unclear. Further research into DBS's efficacy when comorbid anxiety is present is required.
本病例报告展示了针对两名难治性抑郁症和广泛性焦虑症患者的终纹床核(BNST)进行深部脑刺激(DBS)所取得的积极成果。DBS在内侧前脑束(MFB)区域的效果尚不清楚。需要进一步研究存在共病焦虑时DBS的疗效。
