Surgical Approaches Evolve in Tremor Syndromes

Evidence review highlights expanding role of neuromodulation and lesioning, with differences across tremor types

A recent clinical review in Movement Disorders Clinical Practice highlights the evolving landscape of surgical management for tremor syndromes, with deep brain stimulation (DBS) remaining a primary option while incisionless lesioning techniques are emerging. The review details various surgical therapies for essential tremor, Parkinson’s disease tremor, and dystonic tremor, discussing factors influencing treatment selection. Key considerations include the specific type of tremor, patient preferences, and potential long-term efficacy and side effects of each approach.
