This single-center prospective study aims to investigate the treatment efficacy of temporal interference (TI) in essential tremor patients aged 30-70.
Temporal Interference (TI) technology is a novel non-invasive method for deep brain stimulation (DBS). By generating an overlapping electric field from safe currents, TI creates focused stimulation in targeted deep brain areas. This approach allows for the exploration of deep brain nuclei functions and has the potential to serve as a non-invasive alternative to traditional invasive DBS for clinical treatments. This study aims to investigate the treatment efficacy of TI deep brain stimulation by including essential tremor patients aged 30-70. Before and after TI stimulation, clinical data will be recorded. Clinical and imaging data will be analyzed and processed to advance the treatment of essential tremor.

RECRUITINGTremor Level Evaluation
Percentage change in per month after stimulation from baseline in The Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale(TETRAS) score. The TETRAS score ranges from 0 to 112, including an activities of daily living (ADL) section(0-48 scores) and a performance section(0-64 scores), with higher scores representing more severe tremor and lower scores indicating lower tremor level
Time frame: Up to 3 months after TI stimulation
