Reduction in Voice Tremor Under Thalamic Stimulation Neurol 50:796-798, Carpenter,M.A.,et al, 1998 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We studies the effect of deep brain stimulation(DBS)of the ventral intermediate thalamic nucleus on voice symptoms in seven patients with essential tremor.Four of the seven patients showed reductions in voice symptoms in at least two of these measures,although degree of change differed(e.g.,from 1 to 3 points on the 5-point severity scale).Voice gains typically were restricted to those patients with the more severe symptoms and did not parallel improvements in the upper extremities.It appears that reduced voice tremor may be an additional benefit of DBS for some individuals.
