Not to confuse anyone, but the FDA just approved focused ultrasound ablation for essential tremor. Rather than try to explain this, watch this video:

It's not approved for PD yet, but some might be interested.

PS
Dont forget that it takes time for these new therapies to be approved by insurance companies, also.
I'm wondering if ablation treatment works long term. As PD is known to progress does one have to get more brain cells burned/ablated as time goes by?
