Test probes used to define the final target where will be implanted the definitive electrode. It is an electrical stimulation undertaken through an electrode placed at the level of a thalamic nucleus, the Ventral Intermediate Nucleus (VIM). This electrode is set up surgically, thanks to a nanopositioning system, after neuroradiological spotting, undertaken under 3D MRI, and neurophysiological by detection and recording of cellular activities. The electrode is linked to a programmable subcutaneous stimulator. The intervention can be bilateral. A quadripolar electrode, proposed after the initial notice of the CEDIT(Comitee for Evaluation and Diffusion of Innovative Technologies), has rapidly imposed to different teams using this technique ; the evacuation protocole has been amended accordingly.
