Staged bilateral Gamma Knife Thalamotomy for severe essential tremor
Objective: To assess the feasibility and tolerance of staged bilateral Gamma Knife thalamotomy (GKT) for Essential Tremor (ET) Background: Unilateral GKT is an established treatment…Multiple single unit activity in ventral intermediate thalamus of essential tremor patients during intention tremor
Objective: Essential Tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder; however, its pathophysiology is still unclear. We recorded neuronal activity in ventral intermediate nucleus of…Alternating thalamic deep brain stimulation for Essential Tremor: A trial to reduce habituation
Objective: We propose a novel approach to the treatment paradigm for deep brain stimulation (DBS) programming in the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) for patients with…Bipolar directional DBS in VIM-stimulated patients
Objective: To compare circular, directional and bipolar stimulation in VIM-implanted PD- and ET-patients regarding effect and side-effect thresholds in a cross-sectional design. Background: So far,…Identifying therapeutic targets from spontaneous beneficial brain lesions
Objective: To determine whether rare cases in which spontaneously occurring brain lesions improved tremor can be used to identify a therapeutic target. Background: The search…Deep brain stimulation for choreoathetosis in cerebral palsy: Pallidal versus thalamic stimulation
Objective: We aimed to assess, whether the thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) might be an alternative target for DBS in choreoathetosis. Background: Choreoathetosis is common…Thalamic deep brain stimulation of the ventral intermediate nucleus in patients with dystonic head tremor
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the clinical benefit of Vim DBS in patients with dystonic head tremor. Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the internal…Long term clinical outcome after deep brain stimulation of the thalamic VIM in Holmes Tremor: A case series
Objective: The clinical course and long term outcome up to 5 years post surgery of a sample of 4 patients with medical refractory HT who…Bilateral Deep Brain Stimulation of the Ventral Intermediate Thalamic Nucleus for Orthostatic Tremor: A Case Report
Objective: Orthostatic tremor was first described in 1977 (Pazzaglia et al.); they described three patients with lower body tremor during standing. Tremor with a frequency…A functional micro-electrode mapping of ventral thalamus in Essential Tremor
Objective: Understanding the pathomechanisms of Essential Tremor (ET) with higher spatial and temporal precision is of important clinical relevance. While the efficiency of Deep Brain…
