    Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that can compromise the functioning of individuals. The Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery (DBS) has as main objective to improve the motor function of individuals who present important alterations in PD. Although tests are performed before and after DBS in order to compare the results of surgery, the literature is scarce regarding the perception of individuals about their functioning after DBS. Objective: To evaluate the perception of individuals with PD about the effects of DBS on their functioning. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional observational study, which included individuals with PD submitted to DBS. A questionnaire was designed using the Delphi technique to assess the perception of individuals with PD about their functioning after DBS surgery. After two rounds of adjustments to the questionnaire, fifteen experts agreed on at least 80% of the items. The questionnaire was composed of 13 questions related to the perception of the individuals' functioning. The answers ranged from 0 (zero) to 10 (ten), with higher values corresponding to a better perception of functioning. Descriptive statistics was used, using mean and standard deviation, as well as percentages for all variables. The software SPSS for Windows version 17.0 was used. Results: 51 individuals, mean age 60±9 years, mean time of disease 13±4 years and mean time of surgery 2.7±1.4 years were included in this study. 80% underwent surgery in a private hospital and 82% received a bilateral implant. Overall, the perceived functioning of individuals with PD showed a 70% improvement. The item that showed the most improvement was the activity of unassisted bathing (9.3 SD1.9). The item that showed the least improvement was writing (6.6 SD3.3). Conclusion: Individuals with PD who had undergone DBS surgery noticed an improvement in functioning, especially in the activity of bathing without help and a smaller improvement in writing.
