TRANSFORM DBS is a collaborative project between physicians and scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital, Draper Laboratory and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The goal of the project is to develop a deep brain stimulation device that can help treat patients with refractory psychiatric conditions that are insufficiently treated by currently available medication and therapy. We are focusing on conditions of particular relevance to our community of warfighters and returning veterans including posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, major depression, anxiety, substance abuse and chronic pain.
