Multiple sclerosis can be associated with action tremor in 50%-75% of patients. Medical treatment usually does not provide adequate long-term tremor suppression. Deep brain stimulation of the ventro-infero-medial nucleus of the thalamus can provide a dramatic, although temporary, suppression of the tremor, but a limited number of patients are available for surgical treatment. © Springer-Verlag Italia 2006.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis can be associated with action tremor in 50%-75% of patients. Medical treatment usually does not provide adequate long-term tremor suppression. Deep brain stimulation of the ventro-infero-medial nucleus of the thalamus can provide a dramatic, although temporary, suppression of the tremor, but a limited number of patients are available for surgical treatment. © Springer-Verlag Italia 2006.File in questo prodotto:
