Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Essential Tremor and Parkinsonian Tremor
This study is looking at how stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) affects the quality of life and tremor severity for people with essential tremor or Parkinsonian tremor. SRS is a treatment that uses focused radiation to target the part of the brain causing tremors. You might be able to join if a neurologist confirms your tremor isn't well-controlled by medication and you prefer radiation treatment over surgery like deep brain stimulation (DBS) or thalamotomy. The study will measure changes in your tremor-related quality of life after one year using questionnaires. The study is currently unclear on its status and aims to enroll 60 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving you a specific treatment. It plans to include 60 participants.
- What's involved
- You will complete questionnaires and observational assessments, including QUEST, PDQ-39, FTM, and a Neuropsych evaluation.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your tremor-related quality of life will be measured at 1 year after treatment.

- Tremor-related Quality of Life1 year
The tremor-related quality of life for each patient will be assessed by self-assessment questionnaire at 3 month intervals for 1 year after treatment by stereotactic radiation.
