Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurological disease that occurs when a substance called dopamine is depleted in the brain and is generally seen in advanced ages. The disease is more prominent on one side of the body, trembling in the hands "counting money", slowing down in movements, not participating in the body swing of the arms and walking sticking to the body; There are symptoms such as dulling of the gaze and a decrease in facial expressions, a facial state that can be expressed as a "mask face", walking with small steps and leaning forward. The initial treatment of the disease is drug therapy, and in cases where drug therapy is insufficient or severe drug side effects are experienced, DBS treatment gives very satisfactory results.
