P66. Long term follow-up in bilateral deep brain stimulation of VIM in MS-related tremor

Tremor in Multiple Sclerosis is an important cause for disability. As medical treatment often does not provide a sufficient reduction of tremor amplitude, deep brain stimulation is an important option in these patients. Because in previous studies often unilateral stimulation of the VIM was performed, the aim of our retrospective analysis was to evaluate the effect of bilateral stimulation on tremor amplitude, activities of daily living, and due to an additional effect on axial tremor, improvement of global disability (EDSS) and mobility.
