Harness the power of Ultrasound for the treatment of Essential Tremors and Parkinson’s Disease.
How It Works
MRI Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) uses focused ultrasound energy to create lesions in the brain's thalamus without affecting surrounding tissues. This precision reduces the risk of complications associated with traditional surgical methods, such as infection or damage to adjacent brain areas. Patients often report significant improvement in tremor control and can usually resume normal activities quickly after the procedure.
Traditional treatments like medication or deep brain stimulation (DBS) involve invasive procedures or long-term management plans which may not be appropriate for every patient. Medications can have systemic side effects and may become less effective over time.
How Patients Benefit
MRI Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS), being incision-less and requiring no implants, presents fewer risks and a faster recovery, making it an attractive option for eligible patients. It is a same-day procedure that lasts around three hours and doesn’t require sedation, meaning you can stay awake throughout the procedure.
However, it's important to note that MRI Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) is not suitable for all patients, and the decision between MRI Guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) and other treatments should be made on an individual basis, considering each patient's specific condition, overall health and treatment goals.
