Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Speech Science

Background:

  • Essential vocal tremor (EVT) causes voice instability and reduced quality of life.
  • Current treatments for EVT offer limited efficacy, especially under stress.
  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) shows promise but lacks comprehensive evaluation for EVT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a detailed technical report on a novel surgical methodology for treating EVT.
  • To describe a multidisciplinary approach for frameless, awake DBS in EVT patients.

Main Methods:

  • Development and execution of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary operative methodology.
  • Utilizing frameless, awake deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgical techniques.
  • Focus on precise targeting and patient-centered surgical planning for EVT.

Main Results:

  • Successful implementation of the described operative methodology.
  • Demonstration of a feasible approach for awake DBS in EVT.
  • Technical insights into managing vocal tremor during surgery.

Conclusions:

  • The presented methodology offers a viable surgical option for EVT.
  • Awake DBS is a promising therapeutic avenue for refractory vocal tremor.
  • Further research is warranted to establish long-term efficacy and outcomes.
