A Focused Ultrasound Patient Story: Billy (Essential Tremor - One Year Follow Up)
Channel: Focused Ultrasound Foundation
Date: 2012-05-24

Billy R. Williams is proud to be the first patient in the world to receive focused ultrasound treatment for essential tremor. A year after his procedure, which marked the beginning of the ground-breaking pilot clinical trial at the University of Virginia, he reports being "very, very happy" with treatment results. In a video interview, Williams and UVA neurological physical therapist Diane Huss, PhD, say that some tremor has returned but is being managed by a small and well-tolerated drug dose.
