On Demand Grand Rounds: Approaches to Treatment Resistant OCD

Wolfe Adler Award Lecture

This presentation was originally reviewed on October 10, 2022, and broadcast live online on October 12, 2023, from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM ET. 

The views and opinions expressed by this presenter in this lecture are their own, and do not represent the views of Sheppard Pratt.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is common, persistent (in the absence of therapy), and oftentimes disabling.   About 30-40% of patients fail to respond sufficiently to first line treatments of exposure and response prevention (ERP) and serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs).  Adjunctive antipsychotics are the only established second line pharmacological approach.   This presentation will focus on adult patients with severe and chronic OCD who have exhausted a wide range of available therapeutic options.  Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the ventral capsule/ventral striatum is approved by the FDA under a humanitarian device exemption (HDE) for intractable OCD.   The presentation will include a review of the literature on outcomes with DBS, discussion of inclusion/exclusion criteria, description of the implanted devices and surgical procedures, and Dr Goodman’s experience with conducting DBS programming.   Preliminary findings from an NIH funded study to develop closed-loop DBS for OCD will be presented.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, counselors and other mental health professionals. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:

  1. Define treatment resistant OCD for DBS eligibility.
  2. Name brain regions targeted by DBS for OCD.
  3. Explain some of the exclusion criteria for DBS in OCD
