Patients find tremor relief with non invasive focused ultrasound procedure

IU Health Methodist Hospital is one of the only hospitals in the region to offer focused ultrasound to patients who are living with uncontrollable tremors. It's an incisionless procedure that targets and disrupts the specific area of the brain that is responsible for the tremors. Dr. David Purger is one of IU Health's functional neurosurgeons who preforms the procedure. "Patients can leave the hospital a couple hours after the procedure, usually under their own power and they have this truly life-changing benefit for something they've been dealing with, often times for decades."
