Hi Dana,
I have read that people see good results with the technique and as I understand is less invasive than DBS. My father had DBS last summer. It has improved his quality of life, but he must still rely on medication. My husband dx with YOPD is not at a place right now that this is needed, but I try to stay up to date with new treatment options in the event that he is in need. Best of luck to you with your consult. Hoping that it may be an option for you.

Take care!

Dana, I would enjoy hearing the outcome of your HIFU consultation. I'm passing on DBS, have been tracking FU since its Israel beginnings. I'm not enough advanced yet but dominant side tremor is a bother. .Thanks and best,
Beau (C7)

I am not a candidate for DBS due to being diagnosed with major depressive disorder and having some memory loss. He focused ultrasound is a non surgical procedure

No, but I'd look into it before considering DBS.
