Accepted Answer

For persistent, medication-resistant essential tremor with head shaking and anxiety, consider short-term treatments like botulinum toxin injections or anxiety-reducing medications like benzodiazepines. Surgical options include deep brain stimulation (DBS) and focused ultrasound thalamotomy. The cost of these treatments varies widely, but DBS is generally in the range of $50,000 to $150,000.
