Holmes Tremor

Overcome Holmes Tremor with Expert Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery

Tremors can significantly impair one's quality of life, leading to an exhausting battle with even simple day-to-day tasks. Holmes Tremor, a severe form of tremor, presents unique challenges that require precise and effective interventions. At our center, we specialize in providing relief for those suffering from this debilitating condition.

What is Holmes Tremor?

Holmes Tremor is a condition characterized by involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory movements predominantly affecting the upper part of the body. It often emerges following cerebellar damage or disruptions in the pathways between the cerebellum and other regions of the brain, leading to intense shaking that commonly affects the hands and torso.

 The Distinction of Holmes Tremor

Holmes Tremor is distinguished by tremors that persist both at rest and during motion, unlike Parkinson's disease where tremors diminish with movement or essential tremor which is noticeable only during activity. Holmes Tremor's shaking intensifies with motion, is more forceful, and exhibits wider oscillations than typical tremor disorders. Patients often find this relentless shaking to be exceptionally taxing and distressing.

 Innovative Treatment at Our Center

While literature and health professionals often allude to the limited efficacy of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in treating Holmes Tremor, our center has achieved remarkable success using a novel approach that targets dual regions of the brain. This sophisticated surgery, especially in experienced hands, has shown to dramatically alleviate symptoms and may completely stop the tremor for many patients.
