5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the Nucleus Accumbens(NAc) as a novel treatment in severe methamphetamine addiction. Our hypothesis is that bilateral DBS of the NAc will significantly reduce the craving for methamphetamine.
