Effects of ventral intermediate nucleus deep brain stimulation across multiple effectors in essential tremor.

CONCLUSIONS: VIM-DBS reduced tremor in ET patients. There was no significant difference in the degree of tremor reduction across the measured effectors. SIGNIFICANCE: This study provides new quantitative evidence that VIM-DBS is effective at reducing tremor across multiple parts of the body. PMID: 31794958 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
