Deep brain stimulation (DBS) promises to treat an increasing number of neurological and psychiatric disorders. DBS outcome is directly a factor of optimal targeting of the relevant brain structures. Computational models can help to interpret a patient’s outcome by predicting the volume of tissue activated (VTA) around DBS electrode contacts. Here we report results of a preliminary study of DBS in two patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder and show that VTA predictions, which are based on patient-specific volume conductor models, correlate with clinical outcome. Our results suggest that patient specific VTA calculation can help inform device programing to maximize therapeutic effects and minimize side effects.
