Summary

This study looks at whether a brain treatment called focused ultrasound can reduce the social stigma that people with essential tremor often face. About 220 adults with essential tremor will have their tremor treated and then be followed for one year. Researchers want to see if less shaking leads to less embarrassment, anxiety, and avoidance of social situations.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Patients who are scheduled to undergo stereotactic thalamotomy guided by four-tract tractography at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center for the treatment of Essential Tremor (ET). As is standard of practice, the diagnosis of ET and the judgment that this procedure is medically necessary will have been made by a movement disorder specialist. Once the procedure is scheduled, patients are invited to participate in this observational prospective study of effects on ET stigma.

Inclusion Criteria: * People with ET as diagnosed by a movement disorder neurologist * Tremor of sufficient severity and impact on quality of life so as to justify a lesional brain procedure * Competent to consent to undergoing high intensity focused ultrasound thalamotomy targeted by 4-tract tractography * Provide verbal informed consent to this study of ET stigma Exclusion Criteria: * Patient declines to participate in this observational study
