This review systematically traces the technological evolution of stereotactic ablation, including radiofrequency ablation, laser interstitial thermal therapy, radiosurgery, and focused ultrasound.
Over decades, the field of functional neurosurgery has evolved from traditional radiofrequency ablation to deep brain stimulation, and more recently, to incisionless high frequency ultrasonic lesional techniques.

In addition, it provides a comprehensive evaluation of the underlying mechanisms, therapeutic efficacy, and safety profiles associated with these techniques.
The evolution of tremor surgery has broadened access and increased therapeutic options, but has made treatment selection more complex and dependent on evidence, personal, medical, social, and economic factors.
Quoted textsource-backed
This evolution has broadened access to surgical treatments for individuals with tremor and has provided both clinicians and patients with a wider range of therapeutic options. Consequently, selecting the most appropriate surgical treatment for an individual has arguably become more complex, relying on a combination of evidence base, personal, medical, social, and economic factors.
Surgical interventions are often required for moderate-severe tremor syndromes or when medication side effects are unacceptable.
