What is Activa DBS?
Activa DBS for Essential Tremor Control is a surgical treatment from Medtronic that has been proven to significantly reduce the severity of tremor in the arms and hands associated with ET. Although often described as “benign” tremor, ET is not as benign as it appears. In many cases, ET is not only physically disabling, but may also severely affect a person’s emotional well-being. For many people with ET and their caregivers, Activa DBS offers a second chance at life. “Thanks to Activa DBS, I don’t need help getting ready anymore. I write, sew, crochet, go out to eat, and work out at a health club.” Dianne Z. “I feel tremendously improved. I can go get my own coffee and drink it without spilling.” Morrie C.
