After 31 Years of Depression, One Patient Feels Overwhelming Joy Thanks to Experimental Brain Stimulation

After 31 Years of Depression, One Patient Feels Overwhelming Joy Thanks to Experimental Brain Stimulation

A new experimental treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is offering fresh hope. A 44-year-old man, who struggled with severe depression for 31 years, experienced a remarkable turnaround after undergoing PACE (Personalized Adaptive Cortical Electro-Stimulation), as detailed in a recent preprint study on OSF. The Struggles of a Lifetime: A Patient’s Journey with Depression For over three decades, the patient in …

Brain stimulation offers hope for depression, fitness

Brain stimulation offers hope for depression, fitness

The results held steady for up to three months after the stimulation and coaching ended. “One person had 3,000 daily steps in the beginning of the study, but she improved to 10,000 steps in the end,” said On-Yee Lo , an assistant scientist at the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research at Hebrew SeniorLife, and the study’s lead …
