Overview

Review highlights psychological outcomes and neuroethical questions of deep brain stimulation in patients, suggesting potential risks and benefits.

Key Points

  • Comprehensive psychological evaluation is essential both pre- and post-operatively for optimal outcomes.
  • Recent trials emphasize the need to communicate risks and benefits transparently to patients considering DBS.
  • Neuroethical concerns regarding personal identity and autonomy are increasingly important as DBS technology evolves.
