Article Synopsis
- Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a potential treatment for psychiatric patients with severe, treatment-resistant symptoms, but its effectiveness has varied and is still in an experimental stage due to lack of objective diagnostic criteria.
- This overview reviews the existing literature on different biomarkers that could enhance the application of DBS in psychosurgery, including clinical, omic, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and neurobiochemical types.
- A deeper understanding of these biomarkers could lead to more objective and effective uses of DBS in psychiatry, making treatments more tailored to individual patients.
Objectives: Since the introduction of endovascular treatment for cerebral aneurysms, hospitals in which subarachnoid hemorrhage is treated show different availability and/or preferences towards both treatment modalities. The main aim is to evaluate the clinical and angiographic results according to the hospital's treatment preferences applied.
Methods: This study was conducted based on use of the subarachnoid hemorrhage database of the Vascular Pathology Group of the Spanish Neurosurgery Society.
