TRANSCEND Study: Deep Brain Stimulation for Treatment Resistant Depression
Description:
The TRANSCEND Study is a clinical study for people with depression who have been unable to find relief from their symptoms after trying at least four different antidepressant treatments. The goal of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as an investigational therapy to treat treatment resistant depression (TRD) using the Infinity DBS System.
DBS involves a surgical procedure during which electrodes are placed in the brain. The DBS electrodes will stimulate an area in the brain thought to help reduce the symptoms of depression.
