- People with Parkinson's Disease who are already scheduled to have deep brain stimulation surgery at UPMC Presbyterian, as part of assessing how stimulation of certain brain regions affects movement.
- People whose insurance coverage for their already-planned surgery will not be affected by taking part in this study.
Who may not be able to join:
