Focused Ultrasound to Treat Essential Tremor

Focused ultrasound is an incisionless treatment for patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. In this video, Ross Southers, the first person to have a focused ultrasound at VCU Health, shares his experience working with our neurosurgery team. Patients who come in for a focused ultrasound go home on the same day. The out-patient procedure happens over the course of several hours with a whole team of neurosurgeons and support staff.
