Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is among the most frequent and devastating diseases globally [In recent years efforts have been undertaken to develop innovative interventions to modulate NAc activation and assess the clinical effects of such interventions.

DBS is an approved treatment for several movement disorders (e.g. Parkinson’s disease, tremor, and dystonia) and epilepsy in various brain targets and has been used in clinical practice for more than 25 years [Using DBS to treat addiction in humans has been documented in the literature for more than 15 years. It can be traced back to a first incidental finding of a patient with severe treatment-resistant anxiety disorder and comorbid AUD consuming much less alcohol while being treated with NAc stimulation [
