Brief Summary
This study is being done to test whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) (low energy sound waves) cause temporary changes in brain activity and behavior when directed at particular parts of th...
Detailed Description
Hypothesis Precisely targeted low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) modulation of the dentatorubrothalamic tract (DRTT) results in transient improvement of essential tremor (ET). DRTT LIFU neuromod...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients with medically refractory tremor scheduled to undergo MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) thalamotomy to treat their tremor at UCSF.
Exclusion
- Due to the logistical complexity of performing MRI in patients with MR-conditional pacemakers (need for device and patient monitoring), patients with pacemakers will be excluded from enrollment. All other patients undergoing HIFU thalamotomy for tremor will be eligible for enrollment.
