What symptoms are alleviated by DBS? Did your health insurance or VA help with the cost?

The cost was $175,000 to my insurance. I had the procedure done in
dec 2023 and still waiting for baseline to occur. As of today, I don't recognize the benefit.

From what I've read here, DBS mostly helps with tremors and dyskinesia. It doesn't help with cognition.
