Boyet's Life after HIFU treatment for Tremor-dominant Parkinson's Disease

In light of #ParkinsonsDiseaseAwarenessMonth this April, we share the story of Boyet, who has been living with Parkinson’s Disease since 2017, and had undergone High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) at the Philippine General Hospital to treat his hand tremors.
In an estimated 26% of Parkinson’s disease patients, the primary symptom is tremor. These patients initially have tremor and as the disease progresses, they may experience onset of other symptoms. However, tremor remains the symptom with the most severe impact on their daily activities.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an incisionless treatment option for tremor-dominant Parkinson’s patients who do not respond to medications, and the result for many patients, like Boyet, is immediate improvement of tremor with minimal to no complications.
In the Philippines, HIFU treatment for Parkinson’s Disease and other movement disorders is exclusively available at the Philippine General Hospital.
If you or a loved one has Parkinson’s disease, visit treatyourtremor.com/ to learn more about incisionless focused ultrasound treatment to manage tremor symptoms.
Kaugnay ng #ParkinsonsDiseaseAwarenessMonth ngayong buwan ng Abril, ibinabahagi namin ang kwento ni Boyet na may Parkinson’s Disease, at sumailalim sa High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) sa Philippine General Hospital upang malunasan ang panginginig ng kanyang kamay.
Tinatantyang mga 26% ng mga may Parkinson’s Disease ay mayroong sintomas ng panginginig. Ito ang unang lumalabas na sintomas, at sa katagalan ay posibleng lumabas ang iba pang mga sintomas ng sakit na ito, ngunit ang panginginig ang kadalasang pinakanakaaapekto sa buhay ng mga may Parkinson’s disease.
Ang High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) ay isang opsyon ng treatment para sa mga may Parkinson’s Disease na hindi nagagamot ng mga tabletas. Ang resulta sa karamihan ng mga pasyente katulad ni Boyet ay agarang paggaling ng panginginig, na may kakaunti o walang kumplikasyon.
Sa Pilipinas, ang HIFU treatment para sa Parkinson’s Disease at iba pang movement disorders ay matatagpuan lamang sa Philippine General Hospital.
