VIM thalamic stimulation for tremor in a patient with IgM paraproteinaemic demyelinating neuropathy

Mov Disord. 2003 Oct;18(10):1192-5. doi: 10.1002/mds.10510.

Abstract

We demonstrate the effect of deep brain stimulation of the ventral intermediate thalamic nucleus on intractable action tremor, in a 72-year-old man suffering from neuropathy associated with monoclonal gammopathy.
