Focused Ultrasound for Essential Tremor and Parkinson's Disease at UNC Health

Focused ultrasound (FUS) is an incision-less treatment for patients with movement disorders including essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. Like deep brain stimulation, FUS can be an effective treatment option for patients who either don’t respond to medication or initially respond to medication that eventually becomes ineffective. FUS is an outpatient procedure, and many patients walk away from the procedure tremor-free.
UNC Health is the only hospital in the country to offer an interdisciplinary clinic for focused ultrasound patients.
