## Abstract We report a patient with severe orthostatic tremor (OT) unresponsive to pharmacological treatments that was successfully controlled with thalamic (Vim, ventralis intermedius nucleus) deep brain stimulation (DBS) over a 4βyear period. Cortical activity associated with the OT revealed by

## Abstract We describe the clinical course and postmortem pathological findings in a patient with essential tremor (ET) treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS) for 12 years. This 75 year old woman had a 13βyear history of progressive ET prior to implantation of bilateral quadripolar DBS electrod
## Abstract Thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) is proven to suppress tremor in Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). However, there are few reports on its longβterm efficacy. We studied the efficacy of DBS at 2 years and 6β7 years after electrode implantations in the ventrointermed
