Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Bilateral surgical implantation of DBS system

Arm Description

All the participants will receive bilateral surgical implantation of DBS system to VIC and NAc. The experimenter will active the DBS system and adjust the parameters for all the participants after surgery.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) score
Y-BOCS is used to rate the severity of OCD symptoms by clinicians. Higher score means more severe OCD symptoms.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale-Self Report (Y-BOCS-SR) Score
The Y-BOCS-SR is a self-report version of the clinician-rated Y-BOCS. It consists of 10 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0 to 4) with higher scores denoting greater symptom severity.
Change in Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale-Second Edition (Y-BOCS-II) Score
The Y-BOCS-II was created given several overarching concerns about the original Y-BOCS. Each item is rated from 0 to 5, and higher score means more severe OCD symptoms.
Change in Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory - Revised (OCI-R) Score
The OCI-R is an 18-item self-reported scale that assesses the degree of distress caused by OCD symptoms. Each item is rated from "not at all" (codes as 0) to "extremely" (codes as 4), and three items constitute a subtype of OCD symptoms.
Adverse Events
Changes in Hamilton Anxiety Scale Score
The Hamilton Anxiety Scale is a clinician-rated scale. Higher scores indicate more severe anxiety.
Changes in Hamilton Depression Scale-17 Score
The Hamilton Depression Scale-17 is a clinician-rated scale. Higher scores indicate more severe depression.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images
The MRI images contains resting, multi-tasks related, and structural states.
Change in memory
The CANTAB software research is used to assess memory and learning. The tasks incude spatial working memory task, paired associated learning task, pattern recognition memory task.
Change in impulsivity and compulsivity
The computerized tasks are used to measure impulsivity and compulsivity. The tasks include stop single task, beads task, model-based modle-free task and habit task.
Change in Young Manic Rating Scale(YMRS)
The YMRS is a 11-item rating scale used to evaluate manic symptoms. Higher score indicates more severe mania.
Changes in SF-36 score
The 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) is used to measure the quality of life. The higher score means higher quality of life.
Changes in WHOQOL-BREF score
The WHOQOL-BREF is used to measure the quality of life. The higher score means higher quality of life.
Changes in Q-LES-Q-SF score
The quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction questionnaire - short form (Q-LES-Q-SF) is used to measure the quality of life. The higher score means higher quality of life.
Changes in PSQI score
The pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) is used to measure the quality and patterns of sleep. Higher score means poorer quality of sleep.
Changes in PSS-10 score
The perceived stress scale (PSS-10) is used to measure stress levels and contains 10 items rated from "never" (coded as 0) to "very often" (coded as 4). Higher score means higher level of stress.
Changes in PANAS score
The positive and negative affective schedule (PANAS) consists of 20 words that describe different feeling and emotions. 10 words constitute negative affect and positive affect subscales. Each word was rated from "very slightly or not at all" (coded as 1) to "extremely" (coded as 5). Higher score means higher level of positive or negative affect.
Change in Sheehan Disability Scale
The Sheehan Disability Scale is a composite of three self-rated items designed to measure the extent to which three major sectors in the patient's life are impaired. The patient rates the extent to which his or her 1) work, 2) social life or leisure activities, and 3) home life or family responsibilities are impaired by his or her symptoms on a 10-point visual analog scale.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

Arm Title
Bilateral surgical implantation of DBS system
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
All the participants will receive bilateral surgical implantation of DBS system to VIC and NAc. The experimenter will active the DBS system and adjust the parameters for all the participants after surgery.
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
DBS system
Intervention Description
The DBS device utilized in the present study includes a dual-channel neurostimulator kit, lead kit, extension kit, clinician-operated wireless programmer, test stimulator, and patient controller. The lead contains four stimulating contacts. The length of each contact is 1.5 mm, and the spacing between contacts is 1.5 mm. The participants will receive stepwise surgery. The electrodes will be implanted firstly which will be externalized for several days and then the IPG will be implanted. During externalization, the experimenters will record the local field potential and electroencephalography in resting or task-based state with conditions of sham-stimulation or active-stimulation.
