Samenvatting

Diepe hersenstimulatie (‘deep brain stimulation’, DBS) is een behandeling die bij uitbehandelde patiënten met specifieke neurologische of psychiatrische aandoeningen effectief kan zijn en tot verbetering van de kwaliteit van leven kan leiden. De ethische problemen die zich rondom deze behandeling voordoen zijn niet wezenlijk anders dan die welke zich voordoen bij andere medische behandelingen. De ethische basisprincipes, ‘niet schaden’, ‘weldoen’, ‘respect voor autonomie’ en ‘rechtvaardigheid’ geven in het algemeen voldoende houvast om richting te geven aan de klinische beslissingen die in het kader van DBS genomen moeten worden. Gezien de meer ingrijpende en invasieve aard van de behandeling met DBS is wel extra zorgvuldigheid vereist bij de indicatiestelling en bij beslissingen met betrekking tot het staken van deze therapie. Deze beslissingen worden bij voorkeur multidisciplinair en in overleg met de patiënt genomen.
