Summary
This study tested new ways of delivering deep brain stimulation (DBS) to people with Parkinson's disease. The goal was to see if intermittent stimulation patterns could control movement symptoms as well as standard continuous stimulation, but with fewer effects on thinking and memory. Sixteen participants who were already scheduled for DBS surgery took part in both short-term and long-term assessments.
