In this episode, we explore deep brain stimulation (DBS) and the impact it can have on people with Parkinson’s.
Gerlach Roomans was diagnosed in 2009 and decided to have a DBS procedure after a discussion with his neurologist.
He describes how he felt in the lead up to the operation, the experience of DBS itself, and how it has affected his life since.
He is joined by Lucy Partington-Smith, a DBS and advanced therapy nurse specialist in Manchester in the UK.
And Veerle Visser-Vandewalle, a neurosurgeon and Head of the Department of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery at the University of Cologne.
Together, they discuss all aspects of DBS from how it is decided whether it is suitable for a patient, the risks associated, some of the potential side effects, and the ongoing support that is provided after the initial surgery.
