Amazing Results From Pacemaker Electrodes Implanted In Patients With Major Depression


Researchers from the Bonn University Hospital implanted pacemaker electrodes into the medial forebrain bundle in the brains of patients suffering from severe depression with remarkable results: six out of seven patients, symptoms improved both significantly and rapidly.

The method of “Deep Brain Stimulation” had already been tested on various structures within the brain, but not with such significant results. The results of this new study have now been published in international journal Biological Psychiatry.

After months of deep sadness, a first smile appears on a patient's face. For many years, she had suffered from severe depression and tried to end her life numerous times. She and an additional six patients with treatment resistant depression participated in this study. This is exciting news for the researchers at Bonn University as patients with a resistance to treatment may soon have an alternative that produces results for the patients.
