Summary

The goal of this study is to learn if Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery can be streamlined for patients being treated for Parkinson's disease. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can a streamlined DBS surgery protocol with minimal electrophysiology and imaging (MiXT) safely replace the current use of intraoperative electrophysiology?
* Are we able to improve the efficiency, lower the invasiveness, and improve the clinical outcomes for patients undergoing DBS surgery?

Researchers will compare patients undergoing DBS surgery with this streamlined protocol to patients who previously underwent DBS surgery with the standard protocol to see if the accuracy, clinical outcomes, and efficiency improve.

Participants will undergo the standard protocol for DBS work-up and follow-up, but with minimal intraoperative electrophysiological testing.
