Summary

We will evaluate the effect of deep brain stimulation on the depression and quality of life in Parkinson's disease. We aim to compare depression pre-operatively and post-operatively in Parkinson's patients with deep brain stimulation to Parkinson's patients evaluated and approved for deep brain stimulation but who did not complete surgery. We will also compare quality of life measures between patients with and without deep brain stimulation.
