Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure using a device that improves motor symptoms of specific neurological and movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease or Essential Tremor. As part of the patient's care, the DBS is implanted when symptoms cannot be satisfactorily controlled with medications or conventional therapies. Lower urinary tract symptoms are common in patients who have underlying neurological or movement disorders and control over lower urinary tract function is poorly understood. In this study investigators are evaluating the effects of DBS on lower urinary tract function.

Change from Baseline in AUASS (American Urological Association Symptom Score)
Timeframe: Change in AUA symptoms score at Post DBS Implant (≥ 60 days after procedure) measurement compared to Pre-DBS (≤60 day prior to procedure) measurement.
Change from Baseline in I-QOL (Incontinence Quality of Life score)
Timeframe: Change in I-QOL score at Post DBS Implant (≥ 60 days after procedure) measurement compared to Pre-DBS (≤60 day prior to procedure) measurement.
