It can be: There is increasing evidence (mostly out of Europe) that DBS can help many people with tardive dyskinesia. Unfortunately, this is currently an off-label use for DBS in the USA and hence you will need to speak to someone about entering an active research study on the subject underway in the US.

Yes but with Risks: One of the more interesting treatments currently being explored for tardive dyskinesia (td) is known as "deep brain stimulation" (dbs). This method of treating neurological and movement disorders was first approved by the food and drug administration in 1997. Since then, it has proven to have great benefits, but equally serious risks.
