“…It is of key importance to consider with patients the renewal of desperation or the disappointment, which may result from no or minimal improvement in AN symptoms after DBS (9, 44, 62–64), and to stress that DBS should not be considered as a stand-alone “miracle cure,” but rather an intervention that might facilitate response to other treatment modalities such as psychotherapies and weight restoration programs—which may not have been previously tolerated or effective. Discussion in the section “Informed Consent and Desperation in a Clinical Trial” of the therapeutic misconception draws strongly on the discussion of the uncertainties in this section and the previous one.…”

“…This further underscores the need to establish, on an individual basis, whether persons are capable of providing appropriate consent. Extending this notion further, an assessment of the ethical implications of these techniques must also take into consideration whether the cognitive and behavioral effects of stimulation themselves alter the ability of individuals to provide or withdraw consent (Heinrichs 2012; Schmitz-Luhn et al 2012). Finally, a set of concerns relates to whether the wider use of these technologies may eventually introduce either explicit or implicit coercive pressure for individuals to undergo brain stimulation to treat real or perceived cognitive or psychological impairments (Hamilton et al 2011).…”

“…A separate, but related concept is mental competence, which is a legal status that must be demonstrated in order to start, continue, or stop any clinical or experimental manipulation that entails intervening on an individual’s body or mind. 2 With these definitions in mind, clinicians and investigators employing brain stimulation techniques must be cognizant that for individuals with certain conditions, particularly psychiatric disorders, the determination of medical decision-making capacity may be quite complicated (Bell et al 2009; Cabrera 2011; Schmitz-Luhn et al 2012; Synofzik and Schlaepfer 2011). One reason for this is that individuals’ treatment preferences 3 (Synofzik and Schlaepfer 2011) and decision-making capacities (Cabrera 2011) are strongly influenced by mood and affect, which are in turn affected in these types of conditions.…”

“…The IRB of the local ethics committee was informed about the undertaking of a so-called individual treatment attempt (“individueller Heilversuch”) in each case. The decision to perform an individual treatment attempt was made in compliance with German law (Schmitz-Luhn et al, 2012). …”
