FAQ about MR-guided focused ultrasound treatment (MRgFUS)
The main difference between Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s disease is typically the timing of the tremors. If you have Essential Tremor, the shaking most often occurs during movement or when maintaining a posture. The tremors are faster and often rhythmic. The condition can begin at an earlier age than Parkinson’s disease, but it rarely leads to other serious health problems.
If you have Parkinson’s disease with tremor, you will experience shaking at rest, with the tremors decreasing during movement. In addition, the tremors are slower and often start asymmetrically. The disease typically begins after the age of 60.
However, it is possible to have Parkinson’s disease without experiencing tremor.
Yes, MRgFUS treatment can be performed on both sides, but not at the same time. There should be a 9-month interval between the treatments.
