Ro values can be used for selection of optimal DS* in ODC. Three of nine patients were found to be tremor-free without stimulation for >50% of total time with even up to 80% in one patient. Patients with low Ro may not benefit from ODC in DBS, where the trade-off between having side-effects and using ODC system will need to be assessed.
