Show Notes

Many people and families with Parkinson’s wonder if deep brain stimulation (DBS) — a surgical procedure for Parkinson’s — is a possible treatment option for them. In this episode replay, experts discuss who should consider DBS; potential benefits and risks; and the latest advancements in DBS research.

If you’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, you can play a critical role in our landmark Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) study. Get started at michaeljfox.org/podcast-newlydiagnosed
