Thalamic Nucleus (Vim) Deep Brain Stimulation Implantation (DBS)

This procedure involves implanting electrodes into tremor-related targets such as the ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) of the thalamus using a stereotactic system. A common approach is to complete localization under imaging or electrophysiological guidance, and perform intraoperative trial stimulation to observe limb and language responses; then connect the electrodes and extension leads to a pulse generator implanted subcutaneously. Postoperative imaging verification and vital sign monitoring are performed, and the stimulation parameters are gradually optimized through outpatient programming, with the goal of alleviating tremor associated with target movements. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
