Overview
Surgery is not first line treatment for any cause of tremor. It is opted for once non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapy fails. Botulinum neurotoxin injections, thalamotomy, deep brain stimulation, magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound, and radio-surgical gamma knife thalamotomy are the most often used interventional procedures to treat tremors.
Surgery
- Botulinum neurotoxin injections:
- Thalamotomy[2]:
- 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[3]:
- 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):
- Noninvasive thalamotomy procedure, uses thermal ablation.
- Used in severe medication-resistant essential tremor or Parkinsonian tremor.
- Most of the side effects reported did not last more than three months.
- Radio-surgical gamma knife thalamotomy[4]:
- It is found to be safe if done unilaterally
- Optimum dose from 130 to 150Gy is well tolerated
- Most common side effects are mild contralateral numbness and transient hemiparesis.
