Nucleus accumbens deep brain stimulation in adult patients suffering from severe and enduring anorexia nervosa (STIMARS): protocol for a pilot study
We present the design and rationale for a pilot study investigating the safety of nucleus accumbens deep brain stimulation for treatment resistant anorexia nervosa. This trial will provide an estimated effect size of nucleus accumbens deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant anorexia nervosa to support future larger-scale clinical trials.
