What does the Unit treat?

The Essential Tremor Unit focuses on this common neurological disorder that causes involuntary and rhythmic tremors. It most often affects the hands, but can also affect the head, voice, arms, or legs. We offer a full range of treatment options, from medical therapies and rehabilitation to the latest innovations in surgical interventions, to help you regain control and improve your quality of life.

The Essential Tremor Unit of HM CINAC is aimed at:

  • Healthcare professionals looking to refer their patients to a specialized center for the diagnosis and treatment of essential tremor.

How do we approach it at HM Hospitales?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

This non-invasive technique uses ultrasound to destroy specific areas of the brain responsible for essential tremor, providing symptom relief without the need for surgery.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

This surgical technique involves implanting electrodes in specific areas of the brain to modulate neural activity and alleviate the symptoms of essential tremor.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for neurological and psychiatric diseases

This non-invasive technique uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain and modulate neural activity, which can help alleviate the symptoms of tremor and other neurological disorders.

Botulinum toxin injection for movement disorders

The injection of botulinum toxin into the affected muscles can help reduce tremor in some areas of the body.
