This assesses deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a potential intervention for addiction disorders. Methods: A literature review was carried out with a focus on the role of DBS in addiction disorders and its future implications in neurosurgical research. Results: The online literature shows that DBS precisely modulates certain brain regions to restore addiction-related neural circuits and promote behavioral control. Conclusion: Preclinical evidence demonstrates DBS’s potential to rebalance neural circuits associated with addiction, and early clinical trials provide encouraging outcomes in enhancing addiction-related outcomes. Ethical considerations, long-term safety, and personalized patient selection require further investigation.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/placeholders/specialty/stereotactic.png","publishDate":"2023-12-22T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_662_2023","categories":["Stereotactic","Review Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/12687/SNI-14-434.pdf"}
