Patients with the clinical findings consistent with idiopathic Parkinson Disease (PD) and who suffer from severe response fluctuations and/or dyskinesias, despite optimal drug treatment, who are candidates for DBS.
Those PD patients suffering from severe psychiatric co-morbidities and cognitive decline, e.g. dementia and psychosis, are excluded from this study. The mini mental state exam (MMSE) score is not allowed to be <24.
