Closed for comments This consultation ended on at Request commenting lead permission
Description
Parkinson's is a condition that damages the brain over many years. It causes progressive symptoms including tremor. MRI-guided focused ultrasound subthalamotomy is a minimally invasive procedure that is done inside an MRI scanner. The person's head is shaved and a frame attached to keep it still. Then high-power focused ultrasound pulses are delivered to destroy tissue in an area of the brain called the subthalamus (subthalamotomy). The aim is to reduce Parkinson's symptoms.
