Parkinson's Disease: Focused Ultrasound Used to treat Parkinson's Symptoms at UNC Health

Описание к видео Parkinson's Disease: Focused Ultrasound Used to treat Parkinson's Symptoms at UNC Health

In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine co-authored by Vibhor Krishna, MD, associate professor of neurosurgery at the UNC School of Medicine, researchers show that a new focused ultrasound treatment improved dyskinesia and motor impairment in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Patients who receive focused ultrasound treatment can go home the same day after surgery. This treatment was FDA-approved for patients with essential tremor in 2016, and now this pivotal trial has led to FDA-approval of focused ultrasound ablation to treat dyskinesia and motor impairment in Parkinson’ disease.
