Short pauses in thalamic deep brain stimulation promote tremor and neuronal bursting

Abstract: Objective We conducted intraoperative measurements of tremor during DBS containing short pauses (≤50 ms) to determine if there is a minimum pause duration that preserves tremor suppression. Methods Nine subjects with ET and thalamic DBS participated during IPG replacement surgery. Patterns of DBS included regular 130 Hz stimulation interrupted by 0, 15, 25 or 50 ms pauses. The same patterns were applied to a model of the thalamic network to quantify effects of pauses on activity of model neurons. Results A… Show more

“…Recently, it has been discussed whether uniform regular stimulation or patterned stimulation such as repeated bursts of high frequency stimulation is most effective [62]. We applied bursting stimulation patterns in this model but found it to be less effective at suppressing the pathological oscillation in this model in agreement with previous work [63]. …”

“…However, the nature of the intraoperative testing environment precluded assessment of the effect of stimulation pattern of the side effects produced by DBS. Intermittent DBS may be an alternative approach to reduce stimulation energy, but intermittent thalamic stimulation in patients with essential tremor (42, 43) and intermittent STN DBS in patients with PD (19) were less effective than constant stimulation.…”

“…This result may have been caused by sufficiently long gaps in the stimulation train. These gaps could facilitate pathological activity and lead to undesired propagation through a region [19]. …”
