Use the search feature on this site. Use the filter to search only in the Cure Parkinson's community and search for "Focused Ultrasound for Tremors". For a more specific search about a unique form of Focused Ultrasound being performed in Switzerland and trialed in the United States, try "Pallidothalamic Tractotomy" or "SoniModul Clinic." If you're on Facebook, check out the Focused Ultrasound for Parkinson's Disease group. There's a lot of good information out there. Good luck!

Thanks for your input. I have seen a neurologist who specializes in focused ultrasound. After he examined me, he didn't feel I qualified at this time for the procedure.

He didn’t get into all the requirements with me but based his decision upon the fact that my tremors were not severe enough and I didn’t have enough balance issues.

Not what you're looking for?
