Who might be able to join this trial:

A neurologist (brain and nervous system doctor) must have confirmed that you have essential tremor or Parkinson's-related tremor that is not well controlled by medication.
You must prefer to receive radiation treatment for your tremor, rather than having surgery to implant a device (DBS) or surgery to remove part of the brain (thalamotomy).
You must be at least 18 years old.

Who may not be able to join:

You may not be eligible if there are medical reasons why you cannot safely have radiation treatment to the head (for example, if you have previously had radiation directed at a specific area of the brain called the thalamus).
You may not be eligible if you are unable to have an MRI brain scan for any reason.
You may not be eligible if you have previously had a specific type of brain surgery called a thalamotomy (however, having a DBS device implanted on the opposite side of the brain is allowed).
You may not be eligible if your doctor estimates that you have less than 1 year to live.

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.
