Thalamic Deep Brain Stimulation
Arch Neurol 58:218-222, Ondo,W.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Bilateral thalamic DBS is more effective than unilateral DBS at controlling bilateral appendicular and midline tremors of ET and PD. Despite this, overall functional disability only improved in patients with ET, possibly secondary to more p roblematic adverse events in patients with PD, especially balance problems. Bilateral DBS should be considered when unilateral DBS does not offer satisfactory benefit, especially in patients with ET.
