Brief Summary: The success of Deep Brain Stimulation DBS is more correlated to fulfillment of patients expectations than merely improvement of motor status1 Therefore it is of utmost importance to inform the DBS candidates as good as possible to set realistic expectations Currently the patient - most of the time accompanied by a family member - is informed about the surgery and its benefits and risks during the outpatient consultation of the neurologist and later on during the consultation of the neurosurgeon Written information is provided in the form of a booklet that the patients take home

Due to the large amount of information not all of it can be captured by the patient Therefore we would like to investigate whether an additional online immersive educational session on DBS would better educate the patient The online session is a 1-hour video call with a small group of DBS candidates and their caregivers lead by DBS experts where testimonials of other patients are shown together with multiple infographics Two weeks later their will be a second online session summarizing the information and providing the opportunity for QA
