Brain Stimulation, Neuromodulation and Psychopharmacotherapy

Our working group focusses on clinical and neurobiological research of the whole spectrum of neuromodulatory treatment in difficult-to-treat psychiatric disorders. Neurobiological changes and clinical effectivity studies are conducted in brain stimulation technique (ECT, rTMS and VNS) as well as in psychopharmacological approaches ((S-)Ketamin and psychotherapy. We supply broad clinical and research expertise in difficult-to-treat mental disorders, especially in difficult-to-treat depression. Clinical, technical, neuropsychological, neurobiological and immunological correlates of treatment response and course of disease are objectives of our research. Clinical studies require close collaboration of researchers and clinicians. Patients with difficult-to-treat course of disease may need novel approaches or combinations. Clinical members of our research group supply personalisied diagnostics and treatment evaluation to in-patients and out-patients. We counsel patients on whether or not they are eligible for a clinical trial. Close interaction between clinic and research should facilitate a transfer of research results into clinical care. We aim to make or research to be useable in the care of our patients.
