The current study is designed to test the hypothesis that targeted electrical stimulation will result in upper limb tremor reduction in ET and PD patients.
This study will evaluate the effect of Rainbow Medical's stimulation procedure methodology that will be applied temporarily to patients suffering of tremor. This will be evaluated by assessment of reduction of tremor using accelerometer measurements, patient tremor evaluation diary, tremor rating scale, and the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPRDS) part III.In addition,tasks for patient with tremor will be conducted before during and after the treatment. The above measurements will provide data on the stimulation procedure effect as compared to baseline.

The severe adverse events rate within the procedure
Time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 3 weeks
Improvement in tremor symptoms during the procedure
Improvement after treatment in ET and PD tremor symptoms in comparison to baseline, as measured by change in: * UPDRS part III scale * Clinical Tremor Rating Scale * Accelerometer values * Patient tremor evaluation diary
Time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 3 weeks
