Overview
Surgery
- Botulinum neurotoxin injections:
- Thalamotomy:
- Helpful in medication resistant essential tremor, cerebellar tremor, or Parkinson's disease related tremor.
- Tremor is permanently treated by creating lesions in thalamus responsible for causing tremors.
- Most common side effect is dysarthria, cognitive impairment, and imbalance.
- It is an invasive procedure.
- Deep brain stimulation:
- Parkinson's disease and essential tremor may benefit from deep brain stimulation.
- In this non-invasive procedure electrodes are implanted to send high-frequency electrical signals to the thalamus, substantia nigra, or globus pallidus. Downside of deep brain stimulation is the expense, and long term benefits are not established. It is reversible.
- Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS),
- Radio-surgical gamma knife thalamotomy.
