PWP DBS Panel Discussion Moderator: Paul Wear, PBM Board Member
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as tremors, rigidity, and stiffness. It involves the implantation of electrodes into specific regions of the brain, which are connected to a battery-operated device that delivers electrical stimulation. The stimulation helps to regulate brain activity and improve symptoms.
A panel discussion involving 6 people with Parkinson's who have undergone DBS will provide valuable insights into their experiences and the impact that the procedure has had on their lives. These discussions will also help others with Parkinson's to better understand the potential benefits and risks of DBS and make informed decisions about their own treatment options.
