A personal account of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

Richard Goulet, one of our participants at Parkinson en mouvement, describes in great detail the screening and testing before surgery, the surgery itself and the recovery period afterward. An excellent article for those living with Parkinson’s that may be considering this treatment themselves. If you want a copy of his story, please contact us.
