Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Posttraumatic tremor is often one of the causes of disability in head injury patients. Usually, pharmacotherapy for this type of tremor is not effective. Since early 1970s, surgical ablation of the ventral thalamus has been used to treat various types of tremor. Nowadays, deep brain stimulation (DBS) confirms its efficacy in alleviating different forms of tremor, including posttraumatic tremor. Such therapy has been reported achieving around 80% success rate in the treatment of posttraumatic tremor. These successful results suggest that the application of DBS therapy can be considered as one of the alternative treatments for minimizing the tremor occurring from different pathologies. |
