"Asleep" deep brain stimulation for essential tremor.
OBJECT Deep brain stimulation (DBS) performed under general anesthesia ("asleep" DBS) has not been previously reported for essential tremor. This is in part due to the inability to visualize the target (the ventral intermediate nucleus [VIM]) on MRI. The authors evaluate the efficacy of this asleep technique in treating essential tremor by indirect VIM targeting. METHODS The authors retrospecti...
متن کاملThalamic physiology of intentional essential tremor is more like cerebellar tremor than postural essential tremor
The neuronal physiological correlates of clinical heterogeneity in human essential tremor are unknown. We now test the hypothesis that thalamic neuronal and EMG activities during intention essential tremor are similar to those of the intention tremor which is characteristic of cerebellar lesions. Thalamic neuronal firing was studied in a cerebellar relay nucleus (ventral intermediate, Vim) and ...
متن کاملFunctional connectivity targeting for deep brain stimulation in essential tremor.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Deep brain stimulation of the thalamus has become a valuable treatment for medication-refractory essential tremor, but current targeting provides only a limited ability to account for individual anatomic variability. We examined whether functional connectivity measurements among the motor cortex, superior cerebellum, and thalamus would allow discrimination of precise targ...
متن کاملProbabilistic mapping of deep brain stimulation effects in essential tremor
OBJECTIVE To create probabilistic stimulation maps (PSMs) of deep brain stimulation (DBS) effects on tremor suppression and stimulation-induced side-effects in patients with essential tremor (ET). METHOD Monopolar reviews from 16 ET-patients which consisted of over 600 stimulation settings were used to create PSMs. A spherical model of the volume of neural activation was used to estimate the ...
متن کاملThalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Orthostatic Tremor
BACKGROUND Orthostatic tremor is an uncommon disorder manifest by high frequency, low amplitude leg tremor upon weight bearing. Treatment with oral tremor agents is inconsistent and usually not satisfactory. METHODS We implanted bilateral ventralis intermedius nuclei deep brain stimulators into an 82-year-old male with refractory orthostatic tremor. RESULTS The patient had a marked subjecti...
