From Tremors to Triumph : Real Stories of Relief

Yashwanth

“My father is having a tough time because of Parkinson's Disease. We got to know about the MRgFUS treatment in KIMS hospitals, Secunderabad. He was now better with the treatment, will definitely recommend KIMS Hospitals”

Anwar Ahmed

“What amazed me most about MRgFUS at KIMS was the recovery. There were no stitches to heal or infections to worry about. I was back home the very next day. If you are struggling with tremors and think surgery is your only option, please look into this technology. It's a life-changer”

Venkatesh K

“The neurological team at KIMS Secunderabad is exceptionally skilled. They used the MRgFUS to target the exact spot in my brain causing the tremors with pinpoint accuracy. The technology is futuristic, but the human care provided by the staff made me feel safe. I have my independence back.”

Grace D'Souza

“The best part about MRgFUS at KIMS Secunderabad was that I was awake the whole time. I was talking to the doctors while they were treating the tremor. Seeing the shaking stop right then and there gave me so much confidence. No general anesthesia, no 'going under the knife'—just pure science and great care”

Lasting Relief from Essential Tremor & Parkinson's — MRgFUS at KIMS, India's Leading Neuroscience Centre

Tremors are not just shaky hands — they are often the result of abnormal signals in the brain that control movement. In conditions like Essential Tremor and Parkinson's disease, certain brain pathways become overactive or misfire. This causes uncontrollable shaking, even when you are trying to stay still.

Over time, tremors may

  • Make simple tasks like eating, writing, or holding a cup difficult

  • Worsen despite regular medication

  • Affect confidence, independence, and social life

  • Lead to frustration for both patients and caregivers

For many people, medications provide limited relief or cause side effects such as drowsiness, imbalance, or memory issues.

The good news is — tremors can be treated without open brain surgery in selected patients.

Advanced Neuroscience Meets
Non-Invasive Technology

MRgFUS (MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound) is a revolutionary treatment that uses high-intensity sound waves — guided by MRI — to precisely target and treat the area of the brain responsible for tremors.

There are no cuts, no implants and no general anesthesia involved. Patients are awake and monitored throughout the procedure.

MRGFUS - Incisionless Brain Surgery For Essential Tremors

Non-Invasive

Transcranial delivery of ultrasound energy. No incisions, no burr holes, no radiation and no implants

Precise

Sub millimetre MRI guidance to the VIM nucleus. Real time thermal monitoring ensure safety before ablation

Immediate

Therapeutic effect is observed in real time on the treatment table. No programming visits required

What Is Essential Tremor Treatment with MRgFUS?

Tremors
Essential Tremor (ET)
Parkinson's Disease Tremor (PDT)
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
Neuropathic Pain
Epilepsy
Dystonia
MRgFUS Tremor Treatment
If medications are no longer controlling your tremors, MRgFUS offers a safe, effective, and non-surgical alternative.

Am I a Candidate for MRgFUS Focused Ultrasound Treatment?

Diagnosis

Medication-refractory Essential Tremor or Tremor-Dominant Parkinson's Disease (PD).

Impairment

Moderate to severe tremor with a clinical functional score of ≥ 2.

Anatomy

Skull Density Ratio (SDR) should be > 0.45 for optimal ultrasound penetration.

Precision Without Surgery

1

MRI Mapping

MRI Mapping

MRI scans identify the exact brain area causing tremors.

2

Focused Ultrasound

Focused Ultrasound

Over 1,000 ultrasound beams are directed precisely to that target.

3

Thermal Ablation

Thermal Ablation

Focused energy gently heats and disrupts the tremor-causing tissue.

4

Immediate Results

Immediate Results

Tremor reduction is observed right during the procedure.

“ Experience steady hands again — without an open surgery. ”

MRgFUS provides lasting tremor reduction for most patients. Most experience significant long-term relief, though minor residual tremor may occur over time as the condition progresses.

Yes. It is FDA-approved and performed under MRI guidance for real-time accuracy.

Yes. The patient remains awake and able to communicate, helping doctors assess improvement in real time.

Most patients experience lasting tremor reduction. Some may have minor residual tremors over time.

Patients with certain types of implants, bleeding disorders, or other specific contraindications may not be eligible. Our specialists evaluate each case individually.

Tremor may return in a minority due to ET progression.

Yes, FDA approved staged bilateral treatment. The second side is performed at least 9 months after the first to ensure safety

Numbness/tingling (parasthesia) and unsteadiness (balance). Most are transient and resolve within weeks. Incidence decreases significantly over time.

Skull density ratio. A CT measure of how well a ultrasound passes through the bone. Patients with SDR less tha 0.45 are excluded as the skull blocks too much energy

Yes, essential to prevent air trapped in hair from blocking waves and causing scalp burns

It is covered by most of the insurance companies, do check with your provider for eligibility.
