Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disorder which lasts life-long. No cure for the disease has been found yet, but it can be treated effectively to slow down the progression of symptoms. Parkinson’s Disease patients start off with best medication therapy based on their own condition. As the disease progresses, oral medications might not be as effective or may start showing side effects. 

At this time, your neurologist might recommend Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). Deep Brain Stimulation is a surgical procedure in which electrodes are implanted in the subthalamus part of the brain which is connected to a pacemaker like device implanted under chest skin. However, Deep Brain Stimulation is not ideal for every Parkinson’s Disease patient. Consult your medical professional to find out if you are ready to take Deep Brain Stimulation treatment.
