Surgical options of multiple sclerosis (MS) tremor treatment are limited and narrowed to thalamotomy or deep brain stimulation of the thalamic nucleus ventralis intermedius. Lack of qualification protocol frequently results in poor outcome. ⋯ This prospective study confirms the value and safety of ventralis intermedius deep brain stimulation for treatment of kinetic tremor related to MS. Accurate and precise presurgical qualification plays a key role in successful treatment.
