Towards a responsive deep brain stimulation for the treatment of essential tremor
Objective: To identify neurophysiologic markers of intention tremor in the ventral intermediate thalamic nucleus (Vim) and hand motor cortex to develop closed-loop deep brain stimulation…ICF-based effects of VIM-DBS on communication in everyday life in patients with essential tremor
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine how patients with essential tremor (ET) evaluate the functional, physical and emotional effects of VIM-DBS on…The effect of uni- and bilateral thalamic deep brain stimulation on speech in patients with essential tremor: Acoustics and intelligibility
Objective: In this study, we investigate the effect of VIM-DBS on speech in ET patients. We compare how uni- vs. bilateral DBS contributes to the…Differentiating Parkinson’s disease from advanced essential tremor using EMG
Objective: The primary objective of this study is to find out the appropriate spectral parameter from the electromyography (EMG) signals which quantitatively classify PD from…Effect of zonisamide on post-traumatic Holmes’ tremor
Objective: To report a case of a patient with Holmes' tremor following post-traumatic cerebellar lesion, who showed an excellent response to zonisamide. Background: Holmes' tremor…Comparing tremor- and non-tremor effects of ethanol in patients with essential tremor
Objective: To explore the relationship between self-reported non-tremor effects of ethanol and objective tremor severity in Essential Tremor (ET). Background: Ethanol has been demonstrated to…Quantitative assessment of DBS-induced gait disorder in patients with essential tremor
Objective: To investigate changes in gait coordination quantitatively in patients with essential tremor (ET) under chronic bilateral high-frequency stimulation of the nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM).…Primidone-related connective tissue disorders in essential tremor
Objective: To present a case of Dupuytren's contracture (DC), Ledderhose's syndrome (LS), and Peyronie's disease (PD) in a patient with long term use of primidone…Tremor-recording methods and related quantitative tremor parameters in Parkinson’s disease
Objective: The aim of our study was to overview the history and evolution of tremor-recording methods and related quantitative tremor parameters, as well as to…Orthostatic tremor: A literature review of clinical data
Objective: To review all published cases of Orthostatic Tremor (OT), and summarize available clinical data and knowledge gaps. Background: OT is a rare disorder of…
