I'm new to this site and am considering DBS. Has anyone had DBS (deep brain surgery) for essential tremors of hands, head (cervical dystonia) and voice? What result? My neurologists say it will help with my shaky head. I know DBS helps shaky hands, it's my shaky head that is annoying!

piano_gal I had DBS surgery 3 1/2 years ago. It helped my shaking head, voice, and to a lesser extent my hands. I turn the DBS off at night and the tremor has moved into my knees but when it is on the knees are also under control. My hands still tremor a lot but I would have the surger y again any time.
