| Major depressive disorder is
the most common of all psychiatric disorders, and
has a profound impact on individual and family quality
of life and activities of daily living. While depression
can be effectively treated in the majority of patients
by medication and psychotherapy, up to 30% of patients
fail to respond to any treatment.
The Renova-DT™ Cortical Stimulation
System* delivers targeted stimulation to the prefrontal
cortex in patients with major depressive disorder.
The PROSPECT feasibility study is presently underway
to determine the feasibility of treating major depressive
disorder with cortical stimulation.
