This trial is testing whether following a Mediterranean diet can help prevent weight gain and maintain good nutrition in people with Parkinson's disease who have undergone deep brain stimulation surgery. Deep brain stimulation is a surgical procedure that can help control Parkinson's symptoms, but patients sometimes gain weight afterward. Researchers want to see if the Mediterranean diet—which emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy oils—can help manage this side effect.
After deep brain stimulation surgery, many Parkinson's patients gain weight because their symptoms improve, they eat more, and they move less. Extra weight can make Parkinson's symptoms worse and increase the risk of other health problems. This study exists to find a safe, natural way to prevent weight gain and keep patients healthy after surgery.

You will be randomly assigned to either continue your normal eating habits or follow a Mediterranean diet plan after your deep brain stimulation surgery. Both groups will be monitored to track changes in weight, nutrition, and overall health. The study will measure how well each approach works at preventing weight gain and keeping you healthy after surgery.
