Deep brain stimulation of the ventral intermediate nucleus in patients with essential tremor: Stimulation below intercommissural line is more efficient but equally effective as stimulation above

► Subthalamic DBS is more efficient on postural tremor suppression than thalamic DBS. ► Subthalamic and thalamic DBS are equally effective on postural tremor suppression. ► Thalamic DBS requires a higher amount of corrected stimulation amplitude.
