Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) reduces tremor in people with essential tremor (ET), yet the dependence of tremor suppression on stimulation frequency remains unclear. To address this issue, we tested tremor suppression for three 15-second measurements during a

## Abstract It has been suggested that deep brain stimulation (DBS) is less effective in alleviating proximal than distal postural arm tremor and tremor reduction is said to be less in essential tremor (ET) than in Parkinson's disease (PD). We analyzed blinded rater's tremor scores and subjects' di
## Abstract Tremor can be particularly disabling in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and is mildly improved by drug treatment. The efficiency of stereotactic thalamotomy has been reported in a small number of patients but was counterbalanced by severe postoperative complications. Stimulation o
## Abstract We sought to determine the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) frequency on tremor suppression in essential tremor (ET) patients with deep brain stimulators implanted in the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) of the thalamus. A uniaxial accelerometer was used to measure tremor in the
