Like her father, Mary Smith has experienced essential tremor for decades. In early 2024, the Wake Forest, NC resident underwent surgery at Duke Raleigh Hospital, a campus of Duke University Hospital, to receive a deep brain stimulation implant. The device sends out small electrical impulses to help curb abnormal brain signals that cause tremors. Now, Smith’s tremors are greatly reduced, making everyday tasks like cooking, writing, and eating much easier.
