Creator of Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age Lord Julian Fellowes said he has been successfully treated for essential tremor (ET) with focused ultrasound.
Fellowes and Insightec highlighted the procedure and the technology, Insightec's Exablate Neuro, which uses ultrasound energy guided by real-time imaging to treat tissue without incisions or radiation.
Insightec noted that its technology has earned regulatory approval in more than 25 countries to treat ET, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary shaking.
Fellowes serves as Honorary President of the National Tremor Foundation, which recently hosted a U.K. parliamentary meeting to raise awareness of unmet needs of people affected by ET.
The Focused Ultrasound Foundation featured the news and a video of Fellowes' experience here.
