Deep Brain Stimulation for Essential Tremor - Jim's Story

Penn neurosurgeons are pioneers in the use of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). This life-changing procedure can greatly reduce motor symptoms that accompany Parkinson's disease or other conditions and improve patients' abilities to perform daily activities. DBS has helped many patients like Jim get their life back.

My great uncle Big Jimmy, who died 6 months ago, also had tremors in his hands. He was 84 years old when he died. This is such a beautiful video.

I just got offered the surgery for my essential tremors. I’m considering it.

It's a huge consideration, but if you go to the right place and are healthy, it's going to be worth it. ❤
