UCLA's Dr. Jeffrey G. Saver Leads Breakthrough in Deep-Brain Stimulation Therapy
Published on 5.28.25
The treatment of mental health disorders has seen a significant breakthrough with the development of deep-brain stimulation, a non-invasive procedure that targets specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led by Dr. Jeffrey G. Saver, have made groundbreaking findings in this area. Their study involved 20 patients who underwent deep-brain stimulation and showed significant improvements in symptoms, indicating a potential breakthrough in treating complex mental health disorders.
This innovative approach has also been found to be effective in reducing neuroinflammation, which is believed to contribute to the development of depression and anxiety. The researchers' findings suggest that this treatment could provide new hope for millions of people suffering from these conditions.
