Abstract

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be considered in severe cases of therapy-refractory major depressive disorder (MDD). However, DBS for MDD is still an experimental therapy. Therefore, it should only be administered in clinical studies driven by multidisciplinary teams, including surgeons with substantial experience of DBS in the treatment of other conditions.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In a case study, MFB stimulation improved depressive symptoms, but blurred vision could not be reduced by changing stimulation parameters, leading to selection of a new target.

    “Although depressive symptoms improved following stimulation, blurred vision could not be attenuated with changes in stimulation parameters and ultimately led to the selection of a new target.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
