Study: Use of MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy Results in Reduced Tremor, Improved Quality of Life

Research findings offered today during the 81st American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) Annual Scientific Meeting show that the use of transcranial MR-guided focused ultrasound for producing a thalamotomy can have significant positive effects on subjects suffering from essential tremor. A preliminary clinical trial suggested that acoustic energy could be delivered precisely to generate a focal stereotactic ablation deep within the brain. Click here to read the full release.
