My tremor has become debilitating and will be something I will be discussing with my MDS in August. I'm curious how well it worked for anyone who has had it. Thanks, Carolyn p.s. so grateful for auto-spellcheck and auto-word replacement. |

Bumping this up.
The Oxford team report a 50% reduction in resting tremors. The approach, using electronics outside the brain to cancel out the electrical signals causing the tremor, is non-invasive. I'm looking at a similar approach placed on my forearm in the hope that it will reduce my hand tremors. John
