About This Essential Tremor Study in San Francisco

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 the brain. By targeting LIFU to the parts of the brain thought to be responsible for essential tremor (ET), and measuring any associated improvement in tremor, the investigators hope to show that LIFU can be a useful tool for studying the brain circuits responsible for tremor and other brain disorders.

Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Patients with medically refractory tremor scheduled to undergo MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) thalamotomy to treat their tremor at UCSF.

Exclusion Criteria

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.
