Deep Brain Stimulation

Hi @Dittaylorads, Although I have not had DBS the site does have some information available that may prove helpful to you. In addition, the member comments on those articles may provide you with insight as well. I hope members of the community will add comments in this thread too. The articles provide information from basic information to the pros and cons of the procedure to people's experience with DBS. https://parkinsonsdisease.net/forums/deep-brain-stimulation, https://parkinsonsdisease.net/clinical/deep-brain-stimulation-pros-cons, https://parkinsonsdisease.net/living/deep-brain-stimulation-benefits, https://parkinsonsdisease.net/treatment/deep-brain-stimulation. I hope this helps and appreciate your being a part of this community. Warm regards, Rob Hunt, Parkinsonsdisease.net, Community Advocate

I am scheduled soon for DBS surgery for both ET and PD. The surgery is planning to target the VIM and STN using a Boston Scientific land lead which is non directional. Has anyone had this type of DBS surgery before?
