Focused Ultrasound Therapy (FUS)【 Chubu International Medical Center】
This is a minimally invasive treatment program for patients suffering from tremors, such as those caused by Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor.
It may be considered as one of the treatment options when sufficient effects cannot be achieved with medication alone.
Focused Ultrasound Therapy (FUS) is a treatment that delivers thermal coagulation by converging approximately 1,000 ultrasound beams on a specific target deep within the brain.
Unlike surgical procedures, this treatment does not require any incision of the head, resulting in high safety and enabling early return to daily and social activities.
For safety reasons, each treatment session is performed on either the left or right side only.
The entire treatment course, including necessary examinations and follow-up visits, is generally completed within approximately two weeks.
In many cases, improvements in movement and tremor have been observed after treatment.
The attending physician has over 20 years of experience in the surgical treatment of involuntary movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor.
