| Description | The most common indications for deep brain stimulation are movement disorders, mainly late motor complications of Parkinson’s disease and also dystonia and essential tremor. Literature also provide positive results of deep brain stimulation in selected patients with intractable epilepsy and refractory pain. The results of deep brain stimulation in selected patients with some refractory psychiatric disorders (e. g. treatment resistant depression and obsessive compulsive disorder) are encouraging. Deep brain stimulation was also used in small cohorts of patients with various serious refractory disorders, such as uncontrollable aggresiveness, eating disorders, morbid obesity, vegetative state, Alzheimer disesase, drug and alkohol addiction. The papers aims to present an overview of these less frequent indication for deep brain stimulation, basic data about stimulation target structures, description of the clinical data available so far, practical surgical considerations and a short prospective of further use of deep brain stimulation in patients suffering from the above listed serious functional problems. |
