More about Focused Ultrasound
This procedure is a noninvasive, therapeutic technology that focuses ultrasonic beams on specific targets in the brain to ultimately improve the quality of life in those living with PD. It is a single procedure and minimizes damage to the non-targeted healthy brain area as well as the risk of complications and infection. The FDA has approved the use of focused ultrasound for treatment of tremor-dominated Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s dyskinesia, which is a broad definition that includes a wide variety of motor complications, including motor fluctuations, involuntary extremity movement, rigidity, slow initiation of movement and other similar diseases.
