Evaluation of a Decision Aid for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Parkinson's Disease

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Parkinson Disease

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a Decision Aid can help patients with Parkinson's disease make a decision about undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the Decision Aid acceptable to patients with Parkinson's disease considering Deep Brain Stimulation surgery? * Does the decision aid improve decision quality (informed, value-based decision) and uncertainty about the decision? Researchers will compare immediate use of the decision aid during the evaluation process for deep brain stimulation surgery to delayed introduction of the decision aid. Participants will: * Receive the decision aid at the beginning of the evaluation process or towards the end * Complete surveys at 5 visits (remote or in-person) over approximately 6 months
