    Discover a latest advancement for Parkinson's patients - Introducing Brainsense adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) for Parkinson's Disease.


    Adaptive technology self-adjusts DBS therapy in real-time, delivering truly customized symptom control throughout the entire day and night.


    Hear from an Adaptive DBS Parkinson's Ambassador that has made the decision to have a Medtronic DBS system. They will share their unique story and answer questions that only people living with DBS therapy can answer such as:

    • Why did you decide to have DBS?
    • What is the DBS surgery like?
    • How did it feel when your Adaptive DBS therapy was turned on for the first time?
    • How has your life changed after Adaptive DBS?

    Join us for this live, informative and personal conversation to learn more about Brainsense Adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) from Medtronic.


    Featured speaker:

    Prior to his diagnoses, Brandan was a competitive tri- athlete. DBS has given Brandan the opportunity to return to being active and spending time with family. He loves to give back to the Parkinsons community by hosting cycling classes and boxing classes at his local chapters.

    Monthly Member Community Gathering - June

    June 24, 2025 - 7:00 - 8:00 PM EDT


    On the fourth Tuesday of each month, YOPN members come together to learn, engage, and support one another.  It's a great opportunity to connect with fellow members, share experiences and insights about living with YOPD,  discuss personal challenges as well as potential opportunities, and learn how others thrive beyond diagnosis.  This is your safe space - a place you can be real with others who understand what you're experiencing.

    Don't miss this opportunity to connect with YOPN members and explore what's possible as you create your own path forward.

    The Space Between: Navigating Uncertainty Between At-Risk and Diagnosed

    Register Here

    Are you concerned about developing a neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's disease or related conditions? Whatever reason you have to believe you could be at risk—whether it's family history, environmental exposure, a positive diagnostic test, or you have an associated prodromal condition such as REM Sleep Behavior Disorder—you likely have many questions. Join us to learn from a movement disorder clinician, ask questions in a safe, private environment, and find actionable steps on how you might be able to manage the uncertainty and protect your brain health.

    Please note that this program will NOT be recorded. You're welcome to actively participate or just observe and listen.

    Please submit your questions to be included in the discussion through our online form.
