Use of quantitative tremor evaluation to enhance target selection during deep brain stimulation surgery for essential tremor

Use of quantitative tremor evaluation to enhance target selection during deep brain stimulation surgery for essential tremor

Deep brain stimulation (DBS), an effective surgical treatment for Essential Tremor (ET), requires test stimulations in the thalamus to find the optimum site for permanent electrode implantation. During these test stimulations, the changes in tremor are only visually evaluated. This, along with other...
