Drug therapy may be individualized to some extent according to the location and severity of disease, the degree of immune suppression, the likelihood of overlapping drug toxicities, and the ability of a patient to adhere to treatment.
The level of suppression that could be achieved at specific tremor phases correlated with the degree of improvement in essential tremor severity during therapeutic high frequency DBS relative to tremor severity pre-DBS implantation.
