Actually, this is the ablation therapy you are thinking of. The high frequency ultrasound is what causes the heat that burns and destroys the targeted brain cells. It's works, it's approved(at least for essential tremor and being tested for PD tremor) and it's also non-invasive. On the other hand, as opposed to DBS, it's non-reversable.
