Abstract
This review aims to investigate the progression of neuroablation, along with documented clinical efficacy and safety, in the management of treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We searched and compiled clinical research results of neuroablation therapy reported to date. We extracted outcomes related to clinical efficacy, side effects, and surgical complications. Additionally, we summarized key claims and findings. Neuroablative intervention is a potential treatment approach for refractory OCD. Recent advancements, such as real-time magnetic resonance monitoring and minimally invasive techniques employing ultrasound and laser, offer distinct advantages in terms of safety and comparative efficacy when compared to conventional methods. However, the absence of randomized controlled trials and long-term outcome data underscores the need for cautious consideration when selecting neuroablation. Neuroablative intervention shows promise for refractory OCD, but vigilant consideration is essential in both patient selection and surgical method choices due to the potential for rare yet serious complications.
