A similar support group exists in Belgium where over 80 patients received deep brain stimulation in Ghent alone. (37 patients with unilateral pallidal stimulations and 47 patients over the last two years with bilateral subthalamic stimulation. To contact patients in Belgium to share their experiences with you please contact Mrs. Kris Foubert-Van Bogaert tel 32 3 7755230 or 32 476530037. Also she may be able to give you some additional information about the cost of surgery in Belgium, which appears quite less expensive compared to the costs for example in the USA. Sincerely, Chris van der Linden
