New Study: Brain Surgery in First 8 Years Can Protect Memory in Certain Parkinson's Patients

Patients who carry a mutation in the GBA1 gene--the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease--often experience significant physical symptoms earlier in life, making them prime candidates for DBS, but are also predisposed to cognitive problems. The research team identified a crucial window for intervention. The data showed performing DBS within the first seven to eight years of a patient's Parkinson's diagnosis is a vital cutoff point. Intervening before this threshold allows patients to extend their period of improved physical mobility, while also delaying the onset of significant cognitive decline.
