BACKGROUND: Addiction disorders pose significant challenges to public health, necessitating innovative treatments. 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.
