Before considering an implant, it's important to discuss this treatment option thoroughly with your neurologist. They can evaluate whether this type of intervention would be appropriate for your specific symptoms and condition.

Similar to other implanted devices used in Parkinson's treatment, like DBS electrodes or medication pumps, any surgical intervention requires careful consideration of potential risks and benefits. If you're considering an implant, your healthcare team will need to:
- Evaluate your current symptoms and medication response
- Discuss potential risks and complications of the procedure
- Consider alternative treatment options
- Monitor your progress if you proceed with the implant

Remember that any surgical procedure should be thoroughly discussed with your healthcare team to ensure it aligns with your overall treatment plan.
