Don't waste your time. There are so many statistical atrocities in this article that it makes me shiver.

Contrary to the HN title, the paper is not about causal inference, it is a case-control study. A good primer on the limitations of case-control studies can be found here: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/280936#limitations

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has some well-known benefits in short term, in diseases such as Parkinson's (ref https://www.nature.com/articles/s41582-019-0145-9). Although, long term effects tend to fade in a lot of cases, and some patients have permanent neurologic damage after the procedure. Although exciting, there are a couple of non-surgical treatments to pain that have to be tried before invasive approaches.
