ABSTRACT
Aim of this study was to investigate whether Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the Centre Median Nucleus/Parafascicular (CM/PF) Complex is useful in reducing extrapyramidal symptoms in advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. In particular, we compared the action of CM/PF and subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS on resting hand tremor using EMG surface of ulnar and radial right-hand muscles. Our results show that C/M DBS is very effective in reducing tremor, indicating this complex as a new target in advanced PD patients.
