DBS Addiction Survey

Please complete the survey below if you are interested in the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute's study for Deep Brain Stimulation as a Novel Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder.

Please note: The current DBS trial is limited to four participants, and will be limited to current patients in the West Virginia University Chestnut Ridge COAT (Comprehensive Opioid Addiction Treatment) Clinic Program. After we complete these 4 participants, we plan on increasing our number of participants and recruiting patients who are not currently enrolled in COAT. Due to protocol restrictions, we don't expect this to be within the next year.

Deep Brain Stimulation: The purpose of this research study is to test how safe and practical it is to use a procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat people with opioid use disorder (OUD). DBS involves giving an electrical stimulation to the inside of the brain using a small device that works like a pacemaker for the brain. DBS wires will be implanted to activate or stimulate a structure in the part of the brain, which has effects on decision-making, mood, thinking and behavior. DBS is performed using standard methods already in use at WVU. DBS involves surgically placing tiny leads, or electrodes in parts of the brain that control how you think and behave. Then, thin wires called extensions are surgically placed under the skin of the shoulder, neck and head. Then, an implanted pulse generator (IPG) or stimulator is placed under the skin, usually below the collarbone and connected to the extension wires. After recovery from your surgery, the stimulator will be programmed.
