✓ Essential tremor can be suppressed with chronic, bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of
the ventralis intermedius nucleus (Vim), the cerebellar receiving area of the motor thalamus …

Object Although nucleus ventralis intermedius stimulation has been shown to be safe and
efficacious in the treatment of essential tremor, there is a subset of patients who eventually …

OBJECTIVE: Thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) is commonly used to treat essential
tremor, but the optimal lead location within the thalamus has not been systematically …

✓ Chronic electrical stimulation of the thalamus is an effective treatment for essential and
parkinsonian tremor. Although the preferred surgical target is generally accepted to lie within …

✓ Isolated head tremor is rare, but can be disabling. The authors' experience with the
treatment of limb tremor due to essential tremor led them to consider using bilateral thalamic …

Our objective was to investigate the long‐term safety and efficacy of unilateral deep brain
stimulation (DBS) of the VIM nucleus of the thalamus in essential tremor. Forty‐nine patients …

✓ The treatment of essential tremor with thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) is considered
to be more effective and to cause less morbidity than treatment with thalamotomy …

Object Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus is used for the treatment of patients with
medically refractory essential tremor (ET). The authors evaluated patient outcomes after …

Object. The tremor-suppression effect resulting from long-term stimulation of the thalamic
nucleus ventralis intermedius (Vim) and the nucleus ventralis oralis posterior (Vop) was …

The beneficial effects of ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) stimulation were evaluated in 20
patients with tremor refractory to medical therapy. Thalamic stimulation is a non-ablative …
