The authors of the study reported that patients with advanced Parkinson's disease can have a better quality of life and improved mobility if they undergo DBS along with standard medications for the condition. However, patients who received DBS also had a higher rate of serious adverse events, many of which were related to complications from surgery. The Michael J. Fox Foundation spoke with Jeff Bronstein, MD, PhD, of the University of California, Los Angeles about the implications of this study for people living with PD.
