Abstract

Highlights: Home-to-home teleneuropsychological evaluation assessed cognition and mood in PD. The approved group performed better on cognition and mood than those not approved. Sixty percent of PD patients completed deep brain stimulation without complications. Home-to-home testing is sensitive, feasible, and safe for PD pre-surgical screening.
