We found a significant correlation between the distance of the DBS electrode pole to the c-DRTT and the clinical efficacy regarding tremor reduction. The c-DRTT might therefore play a major role in the mechanisms of alleviation of Parkinsonian tremor and could eventually serve as a possible DBS target for tremor-dominant PD in future.
