Overview

Scientometrics analysis identifies low focus on functional outcomes in deep brain stimulation for neurodevelopmental disorders.

Key Points

  • Only 6.2% of studies focused on functional or behavioral outcomes, underlining significant research gaps in the field of deep brain stimulation.
  • A sustained increase in publication volume since 1996 indicates growing interest, though critical clinical endpoints remain under-explored.
  • Analysis encompassed 833 publications with a closer look at a subset of 52 addressing functional performance and aggression.
  • Research output is dominated by high-income countries, highlighting the need for more contributions from lower-income regions.
