Dystonic tremors are a commonly misdiagnosed group of primary tremor disorders, typically mistaken for Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor. Like most movement disorders, this is a clinical diagnosis, so the overlap in some features between all of these disorders can be confusing to less experienced and even more experienced physicians. A tremor in the presence of a dystonia is a dystonic tremor syndrome, regardless of the clinical features. Treatment of dystonic tremor can be challenging without the same gratifying response seen to levodopa in tremor associated with Parkinson’s disease or to beta-blockers and primidone in essential tremor. Deep-brain stimulation remains an option in the most disabling cases.

Currently, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is one of the most effective surgical treatments of treating serious stubborn resistance movement disorders (such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor and dystonia, etc.). The nerve probe has been greatly favored by the authorities and scientists with the respect to the role it acted as the main brain stimulation tool. This article mainly introduces the materials of brain stimulated micro-electrode, the matched specifications and the evaluation on the compound functions in the developing course. The application prosperity and its development trendy will also be included with the intention to help people gain more systematic acknowledgement on the electrodes for deep brain stimulation.
