Has anyone or does anyone know of anyone who has gone under High Frequency Focused Ultrasound to stop their tremors and has had either positive or negative results from it? I am considering having my dad go under this treatment and would like more information on the effects from it.
I appreciate your post about using ultrasound to treat tremors. I had not heard of this before. I did a little research on the internet and I see that Cleveland Clinic has some information about this. Here is the link to the article, https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/21087-mr-guided-focused-ultrasound-for-treatment-of-tremor. I see that this treatment is being considered for both tremors related to Parkinson's or essential tremors as well.
@parkin41, has your doctor suggested this to you as a treatment, or are you just looking into it?

As it appears to be a fairly new treatment, @parkin41, I'm not sure how much first-hand experience you will get. I wish you well as you seek a good treatment plan for your tremors.

I would like to invite other members of our Parkinson's group to add their thoughts, @ggopher @bruce0712 @johnjames @margaretob

I read that, thanks. I'm looking into it myself. I just wanted to hear from first hand experience.
