Parkinson's Disease (PD) presents with debilitating motor and non-motor symptoms affecting patient quality of life (QoL).

A prospective cohort study was conducted involving 150 PD patients who underwent DBS surgery. Baseline assessments of motor and non-motor symptoms, alongside QoL, were recorded using standardized scal
