What this trial is about
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term effect of DBS-STN on cognitive and behavioral outcomes in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. PD patients will be assessed over time using tests, questionnaires and standardized clinical scales. An initial assessment (T0) and annual follow-up assessments will be carried out for 5 years. Researchers will compare data collected from patients with DBS versus patients with best medical therapy.
