Abstract

The present invention discloses a device for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy in a targeted site region of the brain. The targeted site region of the brain is the ventral tegmental area. Moreover, the device is used especially for treating chronic depression in a patient. The present invention also discloses a method for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy in a targeted site region of the brain. The method comprises steps selected inter alia from (a) obtaining a device as defined above; (b) implanting the lead in the targeted site region of the brain; (c) implanting the neurostimulator under the skin; (d) connecting the lead to the neurostimulator by the extension; (e) electrically stimulating the targeted site region.
