Ok, you've already read DBS 101, and you want to know more and the great thing about learning more isn't about becoming a medical expert or proving anything to anyone. It's about giving yourself confidence and peace of mind as you move forward on your DBS journey.
​
When you get a deeper understanding about DBS, something wonderful happens, worry and fear start to shrink, and you begin to feel more prepared for appointments instead of anxious about them. You can have conversations with your medical team rather than listenening and not know what to ask. You effectively become your best advocate about your plan of care, with your amazing medical team as your personal consultant! You'll start to notice important changes in your symptoms sooner and be able to describe them better.
Whether you're the patient or a care partner wanting to provide the best support possible, this knowledge helps you feel more confident and less like you're guessing your way through.

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT . . .
The NeuroSpark Foundation is not a group of doctors or a hospital, but a community of people living with deep brain stimulation, care partners, and allies who have learned to ask hard questions and dig into the research.
We read medical papers, follow experts, and share trusted sources so you can check information yourself and bring stronger questions to your own medical team. Nothing here is medical advice, and only your doctors can tell you what to do, change, start, or stop; our role is to help you understand the language, find solid information, and become a more confident self-advocate in your care.
