Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
In all patients: relation between tremor severity and localization of the lesion. Relation between clinical tremor severity and radiographic (DTI) features of the cerebello-rubro-thalamic tract.<br /><br /><br><br>- The difference in localization of the lesioned area in the brain towards the preoperative assessed target measured in millimetres<br /><br>- The volume of the cerebello-rubro-thalamic tract involved in the lesioned area and compared to the contralateral side<br /><br>- Tremor severity as measured by accelerometers (amplitude and frequency) and the Bain & Findley Clinical Tremor Rating Scale
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient satisfaction after (sub)thalamotomy using a short questionnaire (VAS score).
