Comparing deep brain stimulation in the ventral intermediate nucleus versus the posterior subthalamic area in essential tremor patients.

Conclusions: All aforementioned anatomical target areas are effective in reducing tremor, although no superior reduction was found with PSA stimulation. Because of intraindividual differences between left and right hemisphere regarding the stimulated anatomical target, no conclusions can be drawn regarding differences in side effects.
