Thalamic Ventral Intermediate Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Orthostatic Tremor

Thalamic Ventral Intermediate Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation for Orthostatic Tremor

<p><strong>Background:</strong>&nbsp;Orthostatic tremor (OT) was first described in 1977. It is characterized by rapid tremor of 13&ndash;18&nbsp;Hz and can be recorded in the lower limbs and trunk muscles. OT remains difficult to treat, although some success has been r...
