简要总结
The proposed study is to evaluate the safety and initial efficacy of MRgFUS for patients with treatment-refractory OCD. This study is designed as a prospective, single arm, nonrandomized study. Assessments will be made before and after MRgFUS for adverse events related to treatment, for clinical symptom relief, and quality of life (QoL). The target in the brain chosen for ablation will be the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) (i.e 'capsulotomy'). Safety will be assessed prospectively in radiologic and clinical terms. Post-procedural imaging will be evaluated for evidence of swelling, hemorrhage, and the evolution of the lesion in the anterior limb of the internal capsule. Patients will be clinically followed up at Day 1, Month 1, Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 post-procedure. At every follow-up visit, patients will be evaluated for general health, neurological changes, as well as for device/procedure related adverse events. Imaging will also be performed with positron emission tomography (PET) and MRI, as per the Month 3 and Month 12 post-procedure. Feasibility will be evaluated by determining the rate of patient accrual, the tolerability of the procedure for patients, and the technical ability of heating the ALIC to lesional temperatures.

- •Able to communicate sensations during the ExAblate MRgFUS treatment
- •A consistent dose of all medications in the 30 days prior to study entry.
排除标准
- •Patients with unstable cardiac status [e.g. Unstable angina pectoris on medication, Patients with documented myocardial infarction within six months, Congestive heart failure requiring medication (other than diuretic), Patients on anti-arrhythmic drugs, Severe hypertension (diastolic BP > 100 on medication)]
- •Patients with standard contraindications for MR imaging such as non-MRI compatible implanted metallic devices including cardiac pacemakers, size limitations, etc.

- •Severely impaired renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30ml/min/1.73 m2) or receiving dialysis
- •Laboratory biochemical evidence of abnormal bleeding and/or coagulopathy, including risk factors for intraoperative or postoperative bleeding (platelet count less than 100,000 per cubic millimeter or abnormal INR)
- •Cerebrovascular disease (e.g. cerebrovascular accident within 6 months) or history of intracranial hemorrhage
- •Untreated, uncontrolled sleep apnea
- •Receiving anticoagulant (e.g. warfarin) or antiplatelet (e.g. aspirin) therapy within one week of focused ultrasound procedure or drugs known to increase risk or hemorrhage (e.g. Avastin) within one month of focused ultrasound procedure
- •Individuals who are not able or willing to tolerate the required prolonged stationary supine position during treatment
- •Are participating or have participated in another clinical trial in the last 30 days
- •Patients unable to communicate with the investigator and staff.
- •Presence of significant cognitive impairment
