Surgical treatment of essential tremor and Parkinsonian tremor
Utilizing a frame-based stereotactic system, surgical treatments of tremor related to Parkinson's disease and essential tremor are performed by planting a device to arrest tremor in patients that are refractory to medical therapy. Deep brain stimulator placement achieves excellent tremor control in the appropriate selected patients. |
