Calm while guarded by the gentle Godavari river, Rajahmundry is famous for its culture, and life is easy-going. However, for an individual living with essential tremor, life can get quite uneasy. This is the most common form of movement disorder and is characterised by uncontrollable shaking of usually the hands, and can sometimes involve the head, voice or other body parts.
It's non-life-threatening, but essential tremor can make one struggle with basic things such as holding a cup of coffee, writing, buttoning clothes, and even texting. Many people with essential tremor feel distressed emotionally and tend to avoid social situations out of shame.
It is often thought that a person with essential tremor has Parkinson's disease, but the two conditions are different. In ET, tremors are typically exhibited while performing an action as opposed to the muscles being at rest.
Familial tremors are a typical example of such. The condition can occur at any age, but those over 40 are more likely to develop ET.
Like most other conditions, essential tremor has been traditionally managed by the following means:
Side effects caused by medication can include dizziness or sleepiness, while Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has the added complexity of brain surgery and has more extended recovery periods than other methods.
DBS surgery clears brain pathways to and from the thalamus and implants electrodes which connect to the neurostimulator that sends continuous electricity, acting as a pacemaker to the brain.
Roughly two-thirds of DBS patients (and more than 80% of carefully selected patients) gain 30% or more improvement, and 20% or more of patients gain 50% or more improvement post surgery.
The Mere Device Apparatus is often used as a recovery tool for post-operative MRgFUS patients for the comfort and treatment of their neurological issues.
The positive effects of the Mere Device Apparatus are the fascinating, non-invasive, and simple physical healing after the post-operative treatment.
Patients can be directly referred to MRgFUS and will need to refer to the appropriate doctor for a consultation, on a case-by-case basis and recovery throughout the country of India.
Once through the consultation, patients will be undergoing the KIMS intended treatment. Post consultation, systems of treatment include Interrogate and Check, Assess Action, then Assess Communication and Your Outcomes.
Remember that if you have essential tremor, things may seem intimidating, but they do not have to control your daily routine.
We want our patients to regain their freedom and confidence when it comes to conducting their daily activities, and encourage them to use the MRgFUS treatment.
For patients struggling with ET in Rajahmundry, KIMS Neurosciences will provide you with the best consultation. It is time to regain control over your hands and life.
