The Effectiveness of Alternating Stimulation in Preventing Tolerance in Essential Tremor Patients — AltStim DBS  

Essential Tremor Clinical Trial

Official title:
The Effectiveness of Alternating Ventral Intermediate Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Parameters in Preventing Tolerance in Essential Tremor Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that alternating DBS parameters on a weekly basis will prevent tolerance to stimulation and thus waning of benefit, compared with non-alternating stimulation. The primary endpoint will be preserved tremor control with the alternating group compared with standard treatment using the Tremor Research Group Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS). Key secondary endpoints will be preserved activities of daily living measures as well as preserved tremor control as quantified by motion sensor data.

This study has one primary aim: To determine if alternating DBS stimulation parameters on a weekly basis will be superior at preserving tremor control compared with usual stimulation (non-alternating stimulation) in ET patients with VIM DBS.
