Benabid and colleagues: high-frequency VIM stimulation for tremor

What changed

Reported suppression of tremor with high-frequency VIM stimulation in a small surgical series.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact five-author 1987 report and its small, specific clinical series. It does not establish universal deep-brain-stimulation efficacy, absorb later targets and devices or generalize beyond the reported tremor protocol.
