Table 2.

DBS for anorexia nervosa patients. This table illustrates 25 cases of DBS for anorexia nervosa. All 25 patients were adult female patients who underwent DBS targeting the NAc, SCC, VC/VS, or BNST. All of the studies, except for the VC/VS and BNST (no follow up for the VC/VS study, decrease in weight with the BNST study) studies, demonstrated an increase in BMI with DBS.
