A Study Utilizing Functional Feedback for Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy for Tremor Surgery

Official Title

Functional Neuroimaging Feedback for Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy for Tremor Surgery

Purpose

The goal of this study is to understand if there are any changes to the connections between the cells in the brain before and after the ultrasound surgery for the treatment of Essential Tremor. This will be done by comparing patients who have had ultrasound surgery and Essential Tremor with healthy individuals. This study may help us to better target the tremor region in the brain during the ultrasound surgery.
