Treating Essential Tremor with Sound Waves
Essential tremor, also referred to as familial, idiopathic or benign tremor, causes uncontrollable shaking that can impact a person’s ability to live an independent and active lifestyle. When an essential tremor patient does not get tremor relief from medications, the Incisionless Neuravive focused ultrasound treatment could be an option.
Neuravive uses targeted ultrasound waves to treat the small spot in the brain considered to be responsible for causing tremor. No incisions or permanent implants are needed for the treatment and it is performed using focused ultrasound and an MRI scanner.

Get a Grip on the Symptoms of Essential Tremor
Not all tremors are the same. According to Harvard Health, there are several conditions that can cause shaking hands. The first step is a diagnosis, however, individuals who have a tremor may not seek medical consultation, fearing they may have Parkinson’s disease. Did you know that essential tremor is actually eight times more common than Parkinson’s? While only a qualified physician can provide a diagnosis, there are several key symptoms that differentiate essential tremor from other conditions.
Coverage Expansion for Essential Tremor
