Default A study at Vanderbilt.
Laura,
Several months ago I read about a study at Vanderbilt U. in which they were recruiting PD patients who were still in early stages of the disease in order to try to determine if DBS administered early in the disease process could delay or arrest progression of symptoms. I have heard nothing more about the study since then. Recruiting subjects may have turned out to be more difficult than they anticipated.

Laura, One more thing to consider and ask about (as if you don't already have enough) is that previous brain surgery and specifically DBS may exclude you from future PD clinical trials.
