[[Tremor]] is the most common [[movement disorder]] (intention>postural>resting), with [[essential tremor]] affecting 5–10 million persons in the U.S. [[Thalamic stimulation]] may be useful for tremors that are refractory to [[medical treatment]], including tremor dominant [[Parkinson's disease]], [[essential tremor]],

Before being considered for surgical intervention, it should be determined that the patient has failed maximal medical therapy.

Side effects of [[Vim]] stimulation include: paresthesias, H/A, dysequilibrium, dysarthria, dystonia & localized pain.
