Real-world efficacy of deep TMS for obsessive-compulsive disorder: Post-marketing data collected from twenty-two clinical sites.

Background: Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) with the H7-coil was FDA cleared for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in August 2018 based on multicenter sham-controlled studies. Here we look at the efficacy of dTMS for OCD in real world practices.

Methods: All dTMS clinics were asked to supply their data on treatment details and outcome measures.

The utility of bone cement to prevent lead migration with minimally invasive placement of spinal cord stimulator laminectomy leads.

Background: Lead migration is a significant concern with spinal cord stimulator (SCS) placement with rates ranging from 10% to 60%.

Objective: To describe a novel technique using bone cement at the laminotomy site to help prevent lead migration after minimally invasive placement of laminectomy paddle leads and to present our short-term results.

Methods: A review of a prospectively maintained database identified all patients who underwent minimally invasive placement of laminectomy leads with the use of bone cement.
