Neuromodulation by deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease has developed new research in its pathophysiology. By electrical stimulation of established surgical targets, clinical response can be modified and optimized, improving quality of life. Even though its efficacy, DBS is not indicated for all patients. Selection criteria must be considered and a multidisciplinary team -with roles and responsibilities clearly defined- must evaluate the patient.
