MRG FUS – modern treatment of essential tremor and the tremor form of Parkinson’s disease using concentrated sound waves
MRG FUS IS A NEW TREATMENT FOR ESSENTIAL TREMOR
By harnessing acoustic energy, you can now treat Essential Tremor and Tremor-dominant Parkinson’s Disease patients with the therapeutic power of focused ultrasound.
INCISIONLESS BRAIN SURGERY
A BETTER TOMORROW STARTS HERE
Discover the transformative power of incisionless focused ultrasound.
Insightec is the first and only company to bring to market a Focused Ultrasound platform for treating medication refractory Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease – it’s called Exablate Neuro. Our disruptive technology can deliver up to 1,024 ultrasound waves across the skull to precisely ablate a target deep in the brain. This incision-free treatment is performed in the MRI suite typically on an outpatient basis.
During a Focused Ultrasound treatment, the treating physician sits at a computer in the MRI control room, using a mouse instead of scalpel, to expertly create a lesion. Treatment is guided by MR imaging for patient-specific treatment planning, real-time thermal feedback, and continuous treatment monitoring.
WHY REFER PATIENTS?
Tremor improvement immediately post-procedure.
No craniotomy with low to no risk of infection or bleeding.
No implanted hardware or multiple follow up visits.
Minimal hospitalization.
Majority of adverse events were minor or moderate, and were transient.
PATIENT SELECTION
· A confirmed diagnosis of medication-refractory tremor from essential tremor or tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease.
· Men and women age 22 years or older for ET and 30 years or older for TDPD.
· Patient is able to tolerate the procedure with or without some form of sedation (e.g., conscious sedation), communicate sensations during the procedure, fit in the MRI scanner and activate the Stop Sonication button.
