What is Activa DBS?
Activa® DBS for Essential Tremor Control is a surgical treatment from Medtronic that has been proven to significantly reduce the severity of tremor in the arms and hands associated with ET.¹
Although often described as "benign" tremor, ET is not as benign as it appears. In many cases, ET is not only physically disabling, but may also severely affect a person's emotional well-being.
For many people with ET and their caregivers, Activa DBS offers a second chance at life.

"I feel tremendously improved. I can go get my own coffee and drink it without spilling."
