Description
Jerome Brunelin and co-authors reported a case in 2023, in a report listed under 2024, of brain stimulation for hoarding disorder. Hoarding involves excess gathering of possessions and great trouble throwing them away, with heavy disability. It is hard to treat, so new tailored options are needed.
One patient received accelerated stimulation over a front brain area tied to impulse control. Fifteen sessions ran over a few days, three twenty-minute sessions a day. Acquisition and depressive symptoms improved after treatment, and the approach appeared safe. The authors stress that randomised, sham-controlled trials are needed before the encouraging result can be trusted.
