World's first essential tremor patient treated with MR-guided focused ultrasound

[jsmoritz2000]

I have had essential tremor for over ten years and my body doesn't respond well to medications. I am also an artist since birth and the disorder not only effects my ability to use my hands but it forced me to change careers last year at the age of 37. Would this surgery be ideal for someone like me? I am very interested in your clinical trials.

@jsmoritz2000 This could potentially be something that benefits you. The only clinical trial in the U.S. right now is at the University of Virginia. Because of the demand, the trial is full. However, you could call them about being placed on the waiting list. The contact person is Joanna Loomba, 434-924-5859.
