Sunday, December 9, 2001 Free public seminar set for Parkinson patients For individuals suffering from Parkinsonian or essential tremor, simple tasks become a challenge because of uncontrollable shaking. A free public seminar on a new therapy option for long-term suppression of tremor will be offered Wednesday, Dec. 12, at Ogden Regional Medical Center from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Education Center, Cedar Room. Discussion will center on an implantable system to electrically stimulate the thalamus, said Dr. Brent L. Clyde, neurosurgeon. Clinical studies show the therapy controls tremor in more than 80 percent of those who receive it. The seminar is sponsored by Ogden Regional Medical Center. For more information, call 479-2932.
