Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a safe ad effective treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and many centers of Neurosurgery in Italy have a DBS program. Considering the prevalence of PD and criteria for DBS implantation, about 3200-10350 PD patients may benefit from DBS in Italy. The global management of patients underwent DBS is complex and it can be supposed that many differences exist between centers in clinical practice. The Italian Neurosurgery Society (SINch) designed this survey to investigate the state of the art of DBS for PD in Italy.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a safe ad effective treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) and many centers of Neurosurgery in Italy have a DBS program. Considering the prevalence of PD and criteria for DBS implantation, about 3200-10350 PD patients may benefit from DBS in Italy. The global management of patients underwent DBS is complex and it can be supposed that many differences exist between centers in clinical practice. The Italian Neurosurgery Society (SINch) designed this survey to investigate the state of the art of DBS for PD in Italy.File in questo prodotto:
