Transform the Practice: Next-Generation Pre-Operative Targeting for Thalamic DBS in the Treatment of Tremor
Researchers are investigating improved methods of targeting deep brain stimulators for
treatment of essential tremor relying on brain connectivity measures derived from MRI.
treatment of essential tremor relying on brain connectivity measures derived from MRI.
Inclusion Criteria:

stimulator placement
- Age ≥ 18 years
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior deep brain stimulator, stereotactic radiosurgery, or focused ultrasound
procedure for treatment of tremor
- Presence of concomitant movement disorder (e.g. Parkinson's disease, dystonia, etc.)
- Known pre-existing structural brain abnormality (e.g, infarction, tumor, prior brain
surgery, etc.)
- Contraindication to 3 Tesla brain MRI (e.g. incompatible implanted device)
