For someone living with Parkinson’s disease, everyday tasks like holding a cup of coffee can feel out of reach. For over 30 years Medtronic has transformed the lives of over 185,000 people with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders with deep brain stimulation therapy.1

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a safe and effective treatment that helps people living with Parkinson’s improve motor symptom control like tremor, slowness, and stiffness.
