Overview
There are no echocardiography findings associated with tremor. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), is a noninvasive focused ultrasound ablative thalamotomy procedure used to treat essential tremor.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- There are no echocardiography findings associated with tremor.
- Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS), is a noninvasive focused ultrasound ablative thalamotomy procedure used to treat essential tremor.[1]
- This procedure destroys the area of the brain causing the tremor in patients not responding to medical treatment.
- Four year follow-up of this procedure has shown sustained results. [2]
- This procedure has also shown some successful results in a few patients with Parkinson's disease-related tremor. [1]
