Table 1. Monopolar Symptom Threshold Assessment. Through this Monopolar Survey, Thresholds for Tremor Amplitude Improvement and the Development of Irreversible, Stimulation-induced Side Effects were Identified per Traditional Contact Assessment. Segmented Monopolar Survey was not Conducted.
Improvement Threshold* | Irreversible SE Threshold+ | SE Description+ | |
---|---|---|---|
Left VIM | |||
4 | 1.0 mA | 1.2 mA | Limb ataxia |
3 | 0.6 mA | 1.2 mA | Limb ataxia |
2 | 1.2 mA | 1.0 mA | Limb ataxia and tingling |
1 | >2.0 mA ˆ | 1.0 mA | Tingling |
Right VIM | |||
12 | 0.8 mA | 1.2 mA | Limb ataxia |
11 | 0.6 mA | 1.2 mA | Limb ataxia |
10 | 1.4 mA | 1.6 mA | Limb ataxia and tingling |
9 | >2.0 mA ˆ | 1.4 mA | Tingling |
Improvement defined as any clinically evident limb tremor amplitude reduction.
SE: side effect.
^Tremor reduction not achieved prior to intolerable SE.
