Less is more – Pulse width dependent therapeutic window in deep brain stimulation for essential tremor

Background: Shorter pulse widths than conventional pulse width settings may lead to reduction of side effects and therefore be a valuable therapeutic option for deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with essential tremor (ET).
