Résumé

Bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation improves motor symptoms and treatment-related complications in patients with Parkinson's disease. However, some patients have trouble adjusting socially after successful neurosurgery, in part because of "unrealistic" expectations and psychiatric disorders. Preoperative psychological interventions focusing on these aspects could be beneficial for such patients.
