Official Title: Deep Brain Stimulation on the Subgenual Cingulate and Accumbens Nucleus for Patients With Chronic, Severe and Resistant Anorexia Nervosa
Brief Summary: Deep brain stimulacion (DBS) clinical study in the subcallosal cingulate (CSG) and accumbens nucleus (NAc) for 8 patients with treatment-refractory, cronic and severe anorexia nervosa (AN) patients. The main objective is to show efficacy and safety. Studies show that SSG and NAc are strategical targets in the pathophysiology and the hypothetical surgical treatment in AN patients. The patients distribution (4 patients in each target) it will made by the AN type and the comorbidity associated, the reasons are: 1- It is well known the comorbidity treatment imoportance in the AN evolution, 2- The two differentes types of AN have differents clinical behaviour and prognosis, 3- Studies show efficacy in TOC and DM patients with NAc DBS and in DM patients with CSG DBS. The main variable is BMI. After a 6 months stabilization evaluation phase will be followed (only in patients that have increase 10% BMI) by a double-bind, crossover phase, where patients will receive 3 months with stimulation turned on and 3 month with turned off. All patients will have a 12 months follow up. The study secondary objectives are to know the relation btween the stimulacion answer (increase 10% BMI) and the differents variables, specially AN type, associated cormobidity, selected target and preoperative MRI tractography study.
