Study Summary
The purpose of this research study is to: 1. Determine whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) with two leads (very thin coiled wires) placed unilaterally (on one side of the brain) is beneficial to patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) tremor. 2. Compare the two different locations of the DBS lead placement in effectiveness for treatment of muscle tremors that do not respond to treatment with medication caused by multiple sclerosis. 3. Evaluate any side effects that may result from the two DBS leads.
Primary Outcome
Tremor was evaluated using the Fain-Tolosa-Marin Tremor Rating Scale (TRS). Score was obtained by summing all 21 items, each of which assessed tremor on a scale of 0-4. Because some of the 21 items contained more than one subsection, total maximum score was 144, and minimum score was 0. Higher scores represent worse tremor. Both VIM and VO stimulators will be turned ON and TRS score at 6 months will be compared to pre-implant (baseline).
