Tampa General provides surgical treatment to relieve symptoms caused by disorders such as Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, essential tremor and others.

A primary treatment is deep brain stimulation , which suppresses tremors by sending mild electrical pulses to the brain. The pulses are delivered to the brain by electrodes, which are implanted in the brain and connected to a battery-operated generator implanted in the chest area. The electrical impulses block brain signals that cause uncontrollable shaking.
