New hope for MS patients having trouble with tremors

With new research on Focused ultrasound lesion surgery the clinical trial is promising for Multiple Sclerosis patients suffering tremors.

It is said that managing tremors among MS patients is difficult and it is categorized as intentional tremors. Whereas a tremor among Parkinson patient is known as unintentional tremor, these kind of tremors are seen while the patient is at rest. Fortunately unintentional tremors to some extent are can be treated and cured to lead a good life.

But tremors felt by MS patients are difficult to treat as it is intentional tremors. The patient suffers tremor while intending to do the job, for example trying to use a spoon or inserting a key into a key hole.

One of the risky procedure to manage serious tremors in MS patients now is perform Deep brain stimulation (DBS), this is considered a life threatening and can cause serious damage to brain nerves while performing the surgery in brain. Procedure involves implantation of medical device called neurostimulator which sends electrical impulses to manage the tremors.

Now the good news is with the research happening positive on Focused ultrasound lesion surgery on clinical trials done, it is promising.

The procedure is not as complicated it will be MRI guided focused ultrasound intervention for the treatment of the tremor.
