Are Tremors Normal Having Undergone Deep Brain Stimulation?

Recently a cousin of mine underwent DBS after suffering a brain bleed. At first the surgery was successful, but he seemed to relapse and medication doesn't help with his tremors. I want to know why the surgery may not have worked, why stimulation is better than burning the cells and how extensive damage can be to other parts of the brain. Get back to me when you can, thanks.
