DBS for Essential Tremor in India

Introduction

Essential tremor is one of the most common movement disorders, often causing uncontrollable shaking of the hands, head, or voice. When medications no longer provide relief, Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery offers a proven solution. At INSS, under the care of Dr Vibha Gaonkar, leading DBS surgeon in India, patients with essential tremor can regain control, independence, and confidence in daily life.
