About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and influencing factors of the combination of the anterior limb of internal capsule and nucleus accumbens (ALIC-NAc) deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The main questions it aims to answer is: Does the timing of DBS activation (at 1, 2, or 3 months post-surgery) affect the reduction rate in Y-BOCS scores? Researchers will compare three groups-DBS activated at 1, 2, and 3 months post-surgery-to determine whether earlier or later stimulation leads to greater symptom improvement. Participants will: * Undergo surgical implantation of an intracranial neurostimulation system targeting ALIC-NAc * Be randomly assigned to one of three DBS activation timing groups * Receive regular clinical assessments over a 6-month follow-up period after activation
