Use of Two DBS Electrodes to Treat Post-Traumatic Tremor
The purpose of this research study is to:
1. Determine whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) with two leads (very thin coiled wires)
placed unilaterally (on one side of the brain) is beneficial to patients with
post-traumatic or multiple sclerosis (MS) tremor.
2. Compare the two different locations of the DBS lead placement in effectiveness for
treatment of muscle tremors following trauma that do not respond to treatment with
medications or have been caused by multiple sclerosis.
3. Evaluate any side effects that may result from the two DBS leads.
