Essential Tremor Treatment Options

Показать описание
For people with essential tremor, the activities of daily life can be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Essential tremor, a medical movement disorder, causes people's arms, hands, and heads to shake uncontrollably, and no matter how hard people try, the tremor cannot be willed to stop.

Increasingly, essential tremor patients are turning to a noninvasive and painless new treatment—focused ultrasound—that has the potential to eliminate their trembling. For several years, Columbia neurosurgeon Gordon Baltuch, MD, PhD, who specializes in the surgical treatment of movement disorders, has been one of a few surgeons in the United States experienced in the technique.

No thank you I'm not getting into a MRI for 2 hours. I can't even do it for 5 minutes. I've had several MRI procedures in 2020 and I couldn't take it.

I have essential tremors from a young age now that I’m 59 it’s much worse, it’s difficult doing basic things and embarrassing. I’m a disabled veteran and I would like to have this procedure.

This machine usually puts me to sleep almost immediately. Will I have to stay awake during the procedure?😂

I would rather take medication, that does work. No way in hell I'm going in that machine for two hours.

Video show only minimal progress after MRI... Me, myself have hereditary essential tremor, and in my 30yrs I found the "Energy drink" makes my hand 100% calm and precise... so now I take 2000mg taurine & one pill of B-complex a day and I feel great 🙂 I have also good shake response after marihuana, but I am a non-smoker and "wheed" is expensive cure, and there is a THC driving problem... Try Taurine, wait a week and you will see...

You have to have severe ET before they would consider you for the targeted ultrasound. I take primidone…each yr the amount increase. What will happen in 5 yrs…🤷‍♀️

I'm curious to know if this procedure is long term or not I had to take seizure medication to just minimize how bad it is
