OBJECTIVE: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a treatment for medically refractory essential tremor (ET), but there is a paucity of literature examining the effects of DBS on voice in patients with ET pre-DBS and post-DBS. This study aimed to report a comprehensive evaluation of voice in patients with ET pre-DBS and 6-months post-DBS.
STUDY DESIGN: Case series.
METHODS: Five patients receiving DBS for ET underwent voice evaluations pre-DBS and 6-months post-DBS. One patient had concurrent ET of the vocal tract (ETVT). The evaluation included patient-reported, perceptual, acoustic, and phonatory aerodynamic analyses of voice. Voice Handicap Index-10, Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia, Strain Scale, perturbation measures, cepstral spectral index of dysphonia, cepstral peak prominence, and mean phonatory airflow measures were also among the data collected.
RESULTS: Patients with ET presented with minimal changes in perceptual, acoustic, and phonatory aerodynamic parameters. Perceived vocal roughness significantly increased 6-months post-DBS (P = 0.047). The patient with ETVT presented with clinically significant improvement in almost all collected voice parameters 6-months post-DBS.
CONCLUSION: This is the first study to provide data encompassing auditory perceptual voice analysis, voice-specific patient-reported quality of life measures, acoustic, and phonatory aerodynamic outcomes in patients pre-DBS and 6-months post-DBS for ET. The results of our preliminary study have implications for the use of a comprehensive voice assessment to identify and measure change in voice outcomes in patients with ET and ETVT pre- and postsurgery.
