Intervention(s)
Group 1: Pre-operative gustometry, olfactometry and rhinomanometry prior to implantation of DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) system. Post-operative gustometry, olfactometry and rhinomanometry 6-12 months after implantation. When post-operative results differ from pre-operative test results gustometry, olfactometry and rhinomanometry will be repeated with DBS stimulator turned OFF.

To compare gustatory and olfactory function by means of olfactometry and gustometry preoperatively as well as 6-12 months after Implantation of DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation)
Secondary Outcome(s)
Identification of risk factors for stimulation-induced hypogeusia (age, sex, pre-existing disturbance of olfaction or gustation).
