First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study looks at how stereotactic radiosurgery (a precise type of radiation) affects quality of life and tremor severity in people with essential tremor or Parkinson's tremor whose medications aren't enough. About 60 participants will fill out questionnaires and have their tremors measured for one year after treatment. The goal is to see if this non-surgical option can help control symptoms.
