Abstract
Unequal perception of QoL between patients and caregivers exists under STN-DBS. The fact that social functioning does not improve longitudinally is perhaps due to patient's higher levels of apathy and reduced motivation following surgery. Our findings stress the importance of considering caregiver's input in DBS patients' outcomes and the need for pre-operative preparation.
