We assessed the patients’ tremor with the Fahn-Tolosa-Marin Tremor Rating Scale at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after deep brain stimulation. Deep brain stimulation relieved the patient’s tremor during the 24-month follow-up period.Keywords: deep brain stimulation, Holmes’ tremor, posterior subthalamic area, the ventro-intermediate thalamic nucleus, ventro-intermediate thalamic nucleus |
