Directional Versus Nondirectional DBS for ET

Sponsor: Oregon Health and Science University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This will be a single center (OHSU) proof of concept trial to demonstrate that directional deep brain stimulation (DBS) creates a larger therapeutic window for the treatment of essential tremor (ET), effectively treats ET, and minimizes effects on speech, gait and balance compared to nondirectional DBS.

Official title: Directional Versus Nondirectional Deep Brain Stimulation of the VIM Thalamic Nucleus for Essential Tremor: Assessment of Therapeutic Window, Speech, Gait and Balance
