[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1600792, member: 75779"] For clarity, there are different medical procedures for pain and ET. Neuromodulation is used for both, but the devices differ. Chronic pain sufferers usually have an RF device planted along the spine to disrupt the pain signals. DBS simulates part of the brain causing the tremor via an electrical wire going into the brain. The device itself is usually planted in the abdomen or under the collar bone (subclavian) . While the procedure sounds bizarre (awake under local anesthetic), its a rather safe. The new DBS devices are adjustable and work very well in combination with medication(low doses). I'll refrain from providing any more advice due to potential legal issues. The part about seeking movement disorder neurologists is a sound recommendation. [/QUOTE]
