F06 Keeping Up with the Future: New Clinical Applications for DBS for Parkinson's Disease
The majority of patients treated with DBS for Parkinson's Disease (PD) have multiple symptoms in addition to slowness, rigidity, tremor, and dyskinesia, specifically increasing recognition of non-motor symptoms as a contributor to outcomes in DBS for PD. There is currently little guidance on how to incorporate clinical management of the whole patient into DBS programming. This session will explore initiatives to expose neurologists early on in their training to these issues, emerging knowledge on the management of pain, mobility, and walking, and how new programming techniques may factor into patient management.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe effective methods for introducing neuromodulation into neurology residency training.
- Summarize the current understanding of pain in Parkinson’s Disease and possible therapeutic strategies.
- Explain new programming strategies that can enhance clinical outcomes and minimize adverse effects.
- Discuss how walking can be affected in individuals with Parkinson's Disease who also undergo DBS and identify potential management strategies.
