If you’ve been affected by Parkinson’s, you’ve probably heard about Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery as a treatment option for some living with the disease.
But what you may not have heard of is a relatively new treatment option for tremors called Magnetic Resonance Guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
Referred to as MRgFUS or MRgHIFU (HIFU for short), this is a revolutionary, completely non-invasive treatment where magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to guide and control the treatment, which is performed while you lie in an MR scanner.
HIFU is an FDA approved treatment with immediate results. It is not a surgery, there is no anesthesia, and you are awake during the procedure.
If you have a tremor, why not ask your doctor if HIFU is right for you?
