Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Dystonic Head Tremor: A Long‐Term Study of 18 Patients
Our results indicate that Vim DBS is a safe and efficient treatment option for dystonic head tremor with stable long-term results. We suggest Vim DBS as an alternative to pallidal DBS in cases where head tremor is the leading symptom.
