Abstract
Selecting the appropriate candidate for deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be the most important factor to determine the success of surgery (1–4). The proc ess of patient selection appears to vary widely among DBS centers in different regions of the world. The majority of large centers prefer a multidisciplinary approach involving a neurologist, a neurosurgeon, a psychologist, a psychia trist, and a nurse specialist (5) This chapter focuses on reviewing the factors involved in selecting appropriate DBS candidates for Parkinson's disease (PD) as well as other movement and neuropsychiatric disorders.
