<p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance ‘Parkinson’s
disease in adults’, published in July 2017 sets out evidence-based guidance for healthcare
professionals and commissioners in the care treatment and support of people with Parkinson’s
disease.</p><p>The guidance recommends that clinicians should consider deep brain
stimulation for people with advanced Parkinson's disease whose symptoms are not adequately
controlled by best medical therapy.</p><p>NHS England commissions deep brain stimulation
for people with movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease, in line with the
criteria set out in its national commissioning. Both the NICE guidance and the commissioning
policy can be found at the following links:</p><p><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng71"
