I've been wondering about trapanning and if there are any doctors who perform the surgery as an elective surgery

I need it like a need a hole in the head

However there seems to be more solid science on the procedure than there is for electric shock therapy for example

"If you are considering trepanation for yourself and would like to volunteer for the next pilot study group, please indicate your interest as such"

Yes you can submit interest in voluntarily undergoing trapanning... they are always looking for volunteers apparently.
