      abstract     = {Objective: To identify the utilization and general
                      acceptance of switching between predefined stimulation
                      groups in essential tremor (ET) patients treated with deep
                      brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral intermediate nucleus
                      (VIM) of the thalamus.MethodsThirty-eight patients treated
                      with VIM-DBS completed a telephone survey. This was designed
                      to identify the general utilization of patient controllers
                      and the specific usage of stimulation
                      groups.ResultsThirty-eight patients were interviewed via
                      phone. More than half (21 of 38 patients, $55\%)$ of all
                      contacted ET patients were aware of the possibility of
                      switching between pre-defined stimulation programs
                      themselves. Again, more than half of these patients (13 of
                      the 21 patients) switch between the different programs on a
                      regular basis (8 monthly, 2 weekly, and 3 daily), mainly due
                      to occurring side effects. Age did not differ between the
                      group of patients switching between stimulation groups, and
                      those who did not (65.38 years (±11.36) vs. 69.15 years
                      (±9.92), p = 0.297).ConclusionSome patients frequently use
                      different stimulation settings, mainly to be able to control
                      side effects when necessary. All patients – independent of
                      their age - and especially patients with stimulation induced
                      side effects, should therefore be informed about the
                      possibility to switch between predefined stimulation groups.
                      We propose a training for patients by specialized nurses, to
                      give them confidence in handling the patient controllers.},
