Coordinated Reset Deep Brain Stimulation for Essential Tremor

Status: Recruiting

This study is for people who have essential tremor and will be receiving the Boston Scientific Vercise Genus deep brain stimulation (DBS) system. We are studying the possibility that a kind of deep brain stimulation called "coordinated reset" stimulation (CR-DBS) will be more effective than current DBS treatment for essential tremor. We expect that participants will be in this research study for about 9 to 11 months.
