A Deep Dive into Deep Brain Stimulation
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment option that can significantly improve quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s disease by helping to manage symptoms that may not be fully supported with medication. This webinar provides an in-depth look at what DBS involves, how it works, and who may benefit from the procedure. Participants will hear from medical experts and individuals who have undergone DBS, learning about the preparation, procedure, and potential outcomes.
This program is designed to empower individuals and families with the knowledge to make informed decisions about this treatment option for Parkinson’s.
