Imagine what you could do if your symptoms from essential tremor were reduced and you gained greater control over your movement.
People who have essential tremor (ET) may have difficulty performing everyday tasks requiring fine motor skills. When medication no longer reduces your uncontrollable shaking as much as you would like, there's another treatment option to consider. Medtronic DBS Therapy (Deep Brain Stimulation) may give you greater control over your movement.
