| Tremor Motor Score - Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST) | Sum of baseline and follow-up in upper extremity Tremor-Motor scores for the treated side is a sub-scale of Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST) Part A and Part B sum that was used to measure treated-side upper extremity tremor changes over time. Tremor-motor scores range from 0-32 points. Individual subject's scores at Baseline and Follow Up were calculated at baseline and follow-up visits averaged across subjects. Low scores are better (show improvement). |
