Inclusion and exclusion lines below are quoted from ClinicalTrials.gov. No match score is shown, because a score needs a person's age, biomarkers, and treatment dates. Confirm the record with the study team.
The purpose of this study is to determine the changes in quality of life and degree of tremor for patients with essential tremor or Parkinsonian tremor who are treated by stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This is a questionnaire-based study. Please see Detailed Description below for more information.
Inclusion

- Preference to receive radiation treatment for tremor treatment, rather than surgical DBS implantation or surgical thalamotomy
- At least 18 years old
Exclusion
- Contraindications to cranial radiation (such as prior radiation to the thalamus)
- Inability to have a MRI of the brain
- Prior surgical thalamotomy treatment (but contralateral deep brain stimulator \[DBS\] is permitted)
- Estimated life expectancy less than 1 year
