Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\.Male or female aged 21 years minimum and 85 years maximum on the day of experimental procedures
  • 2\.Diagnosed with Essential Tremor (ET) affecting their hand(s)
  • 3\.Patients with essential tremor who are eligible for Vim/DRT DBS Surgery according to the guidelines of the DGN (www.dgn.org) or patients with Essential Tremor and VIM/DRT\-DBS implantation and undergoing replacement of their battery\-depleted IPG
  • 4\.Implanted with DBS lead(s) in the thalamic ViM/DRT region to treat ET and whose leads are temporarily externalized via extension cables. Lead(s) may be implanted initially (first time) or chronically (patient undergoing replacement of their battery\-depleted IPG)
  • 5\.For acute stimulation setting: Presence of tremor in the hand of grade 2 or more on a clinical rating scale with OFF medication/OFF stimulation state on the day of experiment. The tremor needs to be markedly reduced (\+\+ improvement according to Coenen et al. 2020\) by means of conventional tonic DBS, as determined by the Investigator
  • 6\.Patients who have provided written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\.For acute stimulation setting: Presence of factors that may make assessment of the tremor ambiguous on the day of the experiment (e.g. lead implantation stun effect, alcohol consumption), as determined by the Investigator
  • For acute and chronic study:
  • 2\.Imaging of the leads in relation to neural structures not available
  • 3\.Dementia symptoms
  • 4\.Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • 5\.Implanted with another active device (cardiac pacemaker etc.)
