People with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) who undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery could benefit from remote programming (RP), which has proven to be both effective and economical. However, there is limited research on PwPD with DBS implants who have completed all programming sessions exclusively through remote means (full remote programming, FRP). This case report documents the experiences of five PwPD who underwent FRP, with four demonstrating improvements in motor symptoms, quality of life, and medication reduction. A total of 22 postoperative programming sessions were conducted, all via RP. FRP integrates RP with online consultations. Our findings contribute preliminary evidence supporting the feasibility and safety of FRP in the postoperative care of PwPD with DBS implants.
