What this study is about

This trial is testing a new way to treat Parkinson's disease using deep brain stimulation. It involves stimulating both the dorsal and ventral regions of the subthalamic nucleus with different frequencies. The goal is to see if this approach can improve motor symptoms while minimizing cognitive side effects.
