Objective tremor registration during DBS surgery for essential tremor.

Abstract:

:Essential Tremor (ET) is characterized by a 4-12-Hz postural and kinetic tremor, most commonly affecting the upper limbs. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamus (Vim) has been found to be highly effective in severe/refractory forms of ET. Intra-operative assessment of tremor is performed using clinical methods based on patient and physician perception of tremor intensity. We present for the first time the case of a patient whose tremor was objectively monitored/quantified pre- and intra-operatively using device-based tremor registration to supplement clinical measures. We present the case of a 76-year-old right-handed woman that received unilateral (left-sided) DBS of the ventrointermediate (Vim) nucleus of thalamus (Vim) for medically refractory ET. Tremor was monitored with an accelerometer-based Tremor Pen, which is part of a simple portable device (CATSYS 2000 System, Danish Product Development Ltd., DK, www.catsys.dk). The patient was asked to perform tasks for tremor evaluation before and during thalamic DBS. Tremor quantification revealed a significant improvement (34.7-fold) in the contralateral (right) limb following macro-stimulation. No significant improvement was registered in the ipsilateral (non-operated) side. Simple electronic tremor registration methods during DBS of the Vim nucleus of the thalamus may supplement the existing methodology that is solely based on subjective measures derived from clinical observations.
