A VERY misleading headline! DBS has been done in Chicago at Rush Medical Center for several years. They did the first bilateral STN there on April 21, 1998. My brother was the first patient. The results were very effective. See: http://www.rush.edu/patients/neuroscience/movement.html and related links Other forms of DBS had been done at Rush prior to that date.
