Sponsor's own description

Patients referred to neurosurgery routinely and safely undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment of neurological conditions, most commonly Parkinson's disease. The investigators have observed that respiratory problems (breathlessness) sometimes occur subsequent to DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). This study aims to determine whether this is indeed a consequence of STN stimulation. Secondary objectives include identification of the respiratory physiological mediators of any interoceptive neuromodulation observed, changes in daily physical activity and MRI structural connectivity analysis.
