Understanding how people with Parkinson’s feel about Deep Brain Stimulation
Researchers at the University of Sheffield want to know what people with Parkinson’s in the UK think about Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). They want to understand what makes it easier or harder for people to consider it as a treatment option.
300 people with Parkinson’s who live in the UK.
The researchers are looking to speak to people who have already had DBS, people who are considering it, and people who haven't thought about DBS before or have been told they're not eligible.
