Determining an efficient deep brain stimulation target in Essential Tremor - cohort study and review of the literature

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a highly efficacious treatment for essential tremor (ET). Still, the optimal anatomical target in the (sub)thalamic area is a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal target of DBS for ET regarding beneficial clinical outcome and impact on activities of daily living as well as stimulation-induced side effects and compare it with previously published coordinates.
