Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS): the change from baseline to 1 year in the Y-BOCS total score
The Y-BOCS scale is a clinician-rated, 10-item scale, each item rated from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (extreme symptoms), yielding a total possible score range from 0 to 40. The total score is usually computed from the subscales for obsessions (items 1-5) and compulsions (items 6-10). The results can be interpreted based on the total score: 0-7 is sub-clinical; 8-15 is mild; 16-23 is moderate; 24-31 is severe; 32-40 is extreme.
1 year

Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA): the change from baseline to 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year in the HAMA total score.
Week 2, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6, and Month 12
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17): the changes of HAMD-17 scores and its subscales from baseline to 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.
Week 2, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6, and Month 12
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI): the change of PSQI from baseline to Week 2, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6, and Month 1.

Study Arms (1)
treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (TR-OCD)
EXPERIMENTALPatients will undergo bilateral RNS lead implantation.
Interventions
The RNS lead is stereotactically introduced into the target in the brain and fixed to the skull; the lead is then connected to a neurostimulator implanted subcutaneously in the subclavicular region.
