No never heard of it, nor do I want,DBS. Since my Dr increased the frequency of my dosages, I have not had anymore tremors.
You may ask your Dr about it

Ann yes I have heard of it. Focused Ultrasound or HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound is a non-invasive treatment where they use radiographic technique to decide what part of your brain is causing your tremors and use high frequency energy to ablate the suspect area. My Neurologist referred me to UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas where they evaluated me for possible HIFU treatment but ultimately decided against doing it on me. I hope this is helpfull.
