Abstract
Bilateral thermal capsulotomy with magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS-capsulotomy) is a promising treatment option for treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Herein, we investigated the effects of bilateral thermal capsulotomy with MRgFUS on neural oscillations in treatment-refractory OCD patients. Eight patients underwent resting-state MEG with repeated recordings before and 1 and 6 months after MRgFUS-capsulotomy, and the oscillatory power and phase coherence over the entire cortical sensor area were measured. After MRgFUS-capsulotomy, the high beta band power in the fronto-central and temporal areas decreased at 1 month and remained stable for 6 months. Cortical connectivity of the high beta band gradually decreased over the entire cortical area during the following 6 months. At 1 month, improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms was significantly correlated with changes in high beta band power in both the frontotemporal and temporal areas. The treatment effect of MRgFUS-capsulotomy may be attributed to the cortical high beta band. Our results provide an advanced understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying MRgFUS-capsulotomy and other neuromodulatory interventions for treatment-refractory OCD.
