What are the complications of DBS Parkinson's disease?
Hemorrhage is a major cause of morbidity following DBS. Fortunately, the majority are asymptomatic or result in transient neurological impairment. However, some may cause permanent deficits, or even death. Hypertension,11,15 age over 60,15 and male sex11 are risk factors known to increase hemorrhage risk.
Is DBS for Parkinson's worth it?
DBS may also improve some non-motor symptoms, including sleep, pain, and urinary urgency. It is important to keep in mind that DBS can only help relieve symptoms, not cure or stop disease progression.
