Brain Surgery Is An Option for Patients with Severe OCD

A type of brain surgery appears to be a relatively effective treatment for people with severe obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) who have not responded to other treatments, a new study suggests.

In the study, nearly half of patients showed at least some improvement in their OCD symptoms, and 15 percent fully recovered seven years after the surgery.

The findings suggest surgery may be an effective treatment for patients with very severe OCD who have not been helped by other therapies, the researchers said. Patients in the study had not responded to several medications, including serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) and antipsychotic medications, as well as psychotherapy. On average, patients had experienced symptoms for 16 years, and one-third had attempted suicide.

However, the surgery has significant risks. Two of the 19 patients experienced permanent complications from the surgery, including paralysis on one side of the body and cognitive impairment. Because of this, the procedure should be considered with caution, the researchers said. [See 5 Controversial Mental Health Treatments].

FDA Fails To Check Medical Devices

The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) has called for an investigation into the U.S. FDA’s early laboratory inspections of high-risk medical devices, saying that the agency conducts far too few of them. The watchdog group urged lawmakers to give the FDA more funding to hire and train additional inspectors. FDA records show that early lab inspections dropped from 33 in 2005 to just 1 in 2008. A number of FDA scientists have complained that the agency's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) stopped requiring device makers to undergo FDA preclinical lab inspections.
