Disparities in the Clinical Provision of Deep Brain Stimulation: A Systematic Scoping Review and Grounded‐Theory Qualitative Analysis
We propose a multi-level approach to address DBS disparities, including reciprocal education between patients and clinicians, enhanced screening and referral networks, and policy reforms at institutional and governmental levels. These findings will facilitate further hypothesis-driven research and foster more equitable access to DBS globally.
