Zapping brain tremors without surgery: new radiation treatment shows promise
NCT ID NCT03305588
Summary
This study is testing a non-surgical radiation treatment for people with severe hand tremor from Parkinson's disease or essential tremor who cannot have or choose not to have deep brain stimulation surgery. The treatment uses precisely focused radiation beams to target a small area in the brain thought to cause the tremor. Researchers want to see if this one-time, frameless procedure safely reduces shaking and improves patients' quality of life.
