Mayo Clinic Minute: When to consider deep brain stimulation for essential tremor
Essential tremor is a nervous system condition that causes involuntary and rhythmic shaking. While it is often mistaken for Parkinson's disease, Dr. Philip Tipton, a Mayo Clinic neurologist, says essential tremor is very different. There are treatment options for essential tremor, including deep brain stimulation.
