abstract = {Objective: To investigate in patients with essential tremor
(ET) treated with thalamic/subthalamic deep brain
stimulation (DBS) whether stimulation-induced dysarthria
(SID) can be diminished by individualized current-shaping
with interleaving stimulation (cs-ILS) while maintaining
tremor suppression (TS).Methods: Of 26 patients screened, 10
reported SID and were invited for testing. TS was assessed
by the Tremor Rating Scale and kinematic analysis of
postural and action tremor. SID was assessed by phonetic and
logopedic means. Additionally, patients rated their
dysarthria on a visual analog scale.Results: In 6 of the 10
patients with ET, DBS-ON (relative to DBS-OFF) led to SID
while tremor was successfully reduced. When comparing
individualized cs-ILS with a non–current-shaped
interleaving stimulation (ILS) in these patients, there was
no difference in TS while 4 of the 6 patients showed
subjective improvement of speech during cs-ILS. Phonetic
analysis (ILS vs cs-ILS) revealed that during cs-ILS there
was a reduction of voicing during the production of
voiceless stop consonants and also a trend toward an
improvement in oral diadochokinetic rate, reflecting less
dysarthria. Logopedic rating showed a trend toward
deterioration in the diadochokinesis task when comparing ON
with OFF but no difference between ILS and
cs-ILS.Conclusion: This is a proof-of-principle evaluation
of current-shaping in patients with ET treated with
thalamic/subthalamic DBS and experiencing SID. Data suggest
a benefit on SID from individual shaping of current spread
while TS is preserved.Classification of evidence: This study
provides Class IV evidence that in patients with ET treated
with DBS with SID, individualized cs-ILS reduces dysarthria
while maintaining tremor control.},
