Rostral Dorsal Cingulum Bundle Connectivity in Patients With Bipolar Disorder

Completed
Conditions
Bipolar Disorder
Registration Number
NCT02655978
Lead Sponsor
University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center
Brief Summary

The overall goal of this study is to employ diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and tractography to investigate differences in connectivity in the rostral dorsal cingulum bundle (CB) in patients with bipolar disorder type I (BDI) or bipolar type II (BDII) compared to matched controls, and to utilize this information to determine if high-frequency deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the rostral dorsal CB has realistic potential as a therapy for producing mood stabilization in patients with BDI or BDII.
