Considering Deep Brain Stimulation: What to Know and Expect (Webinar Audio)

  • Summary

  • The decision-making process around deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat Parkinson’s motor symptoms can be a complex and emotional journey. People often have questions about when – and whether – to have the procedure and what the experience is like, from the months of evaluation pre-surgery to surgery day to life with the device. In audio from this Third Thursdays Webinar, our panel of people living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and a movement disorder specialist share their DBS stories and answer audience questions about their choices and experiences.
