Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has been used by many people with Parkinson's Disease, especially those whose motor symptoms are debilitating and cannot be controlled with medications, or whose side effects from medications are severe. According to the knowledge base, 1158 people have had this surgery to treat their Parkinson's disease.

DBS can relieve motor symptoms but is not a cure for Parkinson's Disease. It involves extensive pre-surgical evaluations and two surgeries. Side effects and complications can include headache, temporary swelling, confusion, and more.

It's important to discuss with your neurologist to determine if DBS is right for you.
