Summary

This study tested a new way to perform deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. The new method puts patients to sleep and uses brain scans to guide the surgery, avoiding the need for awake testing. The trial involved 128 people with advanced Parkinson's and compared motor improvement one year after surgery. The goal was to see if the asleep method works as well as the standard awake procedure.
