Brief Answer:
Both possible treatment options for Parkinson's.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Deep brain stimulation is a therapeutic procedure that uses electrodes implantation into basal ganglia of the brain and electric impulses, to control symptoms of Parkinson's.

It is reserved for severe cases of Parkinson's in which other treatment possibilities are exhausted.

Embryonic stem cells markers are Dopaminergic cells ( produce dopamine), that are still studied as possible substitutions of dopamine producing damaged brain cells.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Take care.
