I sure wish they had included something about whether the patient improved or not-this is something, given the nature of the procedure, that I think would show benefits pretty quickly if it were going to be beneficial.
Other PWP have received this same treatment around the world, but how are they doing? |

Looks like this may be the first women who's had it done. I almost started to cry when she was running! |

I assume a lot cheaper than DBS for obvious reasons. Last edited by soccertese; 09-03-2015 at 07:46 AM. Reason: added to DBS subject |

I have seen examples where Dr. Lozano has used focused ultrasound beams to treat patients with severe Essential Tremor. The results are amazing and immediate.

Here is a link to a youtube video showing a patient with Essential Tremor before and after this type of surgery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdF_3eqp1pk It is more like pallidotomy than DBS. |
