Usefulness of thalamic beta activity for closed-loop therapy in essential tremor

Résumé

A partial loss of effectiveness of deep brain stimulation of the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (VIM) has been reported in some patients with essential tremor (ET), possibly due to habituation to permanent stimulation. This study focused on the evolution of VIM local-field potentials (LFPs) data over time to assess the long-term feasibility of closed-loop therapy based on thalamic activity. We performed recordings of thalamic LFPs in 10 patients with severe ET using the ACTIVA™ PC + S (Medtronic plc.) allowing both recordings and stimulation in the same region. Particular attention was paid to describing the evolution of LFPs over time from 3 to 24 months after surgery when the stimulation was Off. We demonstrated a significant decrease in high-beta LFPs amplitude during movements inducing tremor in comparison to the rest condition 3 months after surgery (1.91 ± 0.89 at rest vs. 1.27 ± 1.37 µV2/Hz during posture/action for N = 8/10 patients; p = 0.010), 12 months after surgery (2.92 ± 1.75 at rest vs. 2.12 ± 1.78 µV2/Hz during posture/action for N = 7/10 patients; p = 0.014) and 24 months after surgery (2.32 ± 0.35 at rest vs 0.75 ± 0.78 µV2/Hz during posture/action for 4/6 patients; p = 0.017). Among the patients who exhibited a significant decrease of high-beta LFP amplitude when stimulation was Off, this phenomenon was observed at least twice during the follow-up. Although the extent of this decrease in high-beta LFPs amplitude during movements inducing tremor may vary over time, this thalamic biomarker of movement could potentially be usable for closed-loop therapy in the long term. © 2023, The Author(s).
