- Title
Deep brain stimulation in the management of multiple sclerosis tremor.
- Authors
Cavallo, M. A.; Eleopra, R.; Biguzzi, S.; Sarubbo, S.
- Abstract
Multiple sclerosis can be associated with action tremor in 50%–75% of patients. Medical treatment usually does not provide adequate long-term tremor suppression. Deep brain stimulation of the ventro-infero-medial nucleus of the thalamus can provide a dramatic, although temporary, suppression of the tremor, but a limited number of patients are available for surgical treatment.
