Essential tremor (ET) may be a debilitating neurological condition, interfering with activities of daily living.\u00a0 Therapy for ET may be ineffective and remains relatively limited.\u00a0 In an upcoming issue of JNNP (online first) an innovative methods for treating ET was reported, namely magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS).\u00a0 This “surgical technique” aims to induce lesion in the thalamus (thalmotomy) as a means of treating ET.\u00a0 Although surgical thalmotomy and DBA of thalamus are well established, these techniques are invasive.\u00a0 Importantly MRgFUS appear safe, is\u00a0 less-invasive and appears to be effective, although more works is needed on patient selection.<\/p>\n
