Focused Ultrasound Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease, Brian’s Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Riverside’s Movement Disorders Program now offers MRI focused Ultrasound in addition to Deep Brain Stimulation and therapy services. MRI focused US is an exciting new procedure for the treatment of medication-refractory essential tremors and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s Disease that targets the pathways deep in the brain where the tremors occur, allowing patients to see a vast improvement in their tremor in only a few hours with minimal side effects or recovery time.
The procedure is done in a single session with no incisions, with patients able to go home shortly after it is finished. Brian Osborne, who has been living with Parkinson’s Disease, shared his experience of having the procedure done on the left side of his brain in order to improve the tremors in his right (dominant) side.

FUS was originally designed for the treatment of Essential Tremor ("ET"). I had my FUS for ET 2 years ago for tremors in my dominant hand. Both my hands were affected but we decided to deal only with the dominant hand. I am very happy to see this result for Brian and hope that this treatment becomes mainstream for these movement disorders.
This is so wonderful, it brought tears to my eyes . . .
I am still waiting for an honest and conscientious doctor to be straight forward and answers my questions without covering up anything...but I won't hold my breath....thanks......1.how many years this procedure will last? 2. What is the percentage of success? 3. How safe this procedure is? 4. Can anything be done for head shake and legs shake?
5. What are the side effects, if any?
بانتظار الرد
Are we doing both the right side and the left side at the same time or are we doing them separate,?
I had access to Brianś Story and I wonder what I need to do this treatment (Fus Focused Ultra ) .Can you explain ?
Do you do this procedure for freezing of gait and where you ou located and how we can reach you. Thank you for your help
This looks very promising. In Germany the "Uni-Klinik für Neurologie" in Kiel offers this treatment as well.
Why not do both side?
Please consider infrared laser to treat the gut microbiome at home BEFORE invasive therapies like DBS. Ultrasound looks interesting. Thank-you for this overview.
Not everybody qualifies for ultrasound. Only one part of your brain has to be affected. It was declined because I live with this disease for over 10 years.
It is invasive in that it kills cells in the brain and is not reversible. My MDS described it as non-surgical but very invasive. Was not recommended. I will probably get DBS
@@robertangleson8969 infrared laser is not invasive, and does not kill cells in the brain at all. It helps them heal and repair. Can't speak for ultrasound though.
I misunderstood and thought you were talking about Focused Ultrasound which in my opinion is very invasive. I have been intrigued by the red laser treatment but have not found much information yet. The vibrating gloves developed at Stanford hold some promise also but still in clinical trials. Good luck in your journey.
What are the “unwanted side effects”?!
A friend of mine has rapidly advancing PD, but no tremor. Gait problems, speech problems, slowness, etc. Will this procedure help those symptoms?
Thank you for your question. MRI Focused Ultrasound is approved to treat tremors, not the other symptoms you mentioned. We recommend patients speak directly with their physicians about possible treatments as each situation is unique.
My mom also have similar symptoms as your friend that they don’t have tremor, except she has clear mind and expression. Want would be your friends’ treatment?
Why was this treatment only used for the right side? Why not do both sides at the same time?
They Can Charge Twice...
FDA has approved the second side only after 9 months of a success on the first side as a precaution.
i willing to bet once the symbyx company is selling there red laser tool in america, everyone is starting to buy the red light panels to test out if it works. people are tired of taking pills all the time. they do offer a helment also,hopefully the nasal cavity will be next.
is this treatment cover under medicare / medicare or husky, ?
Yes, by a lot of private insurances. I know tricare just approved this treatment for military apprised dependents vets etc
Parkinson disease is a very terrible illness, my Dad suffered from it for 19 years until we finally got a help and a medicine that truly works that helped treat, cure and reversed all his symptoms... My Dad is well again.
What meds was that?
Please can you tell us the medicines , treatment???
@keitymarley733 I’m guessing you didn’t see the replies because if people don’t tag you, it’s easy to miss.
Can you please list medications and treatments your dad did? Thank you! 🙏🤗❤️🙏
@@RoniShawn the medication was from Dr Madida, I don’t know the herbs.
@@RoniShawn kindly search Dr Madida
Do you treat Parkinsonian freezing gait syndrome and where are you located
ICan I get a contact no for communicating to get this treatment?
I noticed only the patient's right hand side is much improved after the procedure, but not so much on the left hand side, is that the intended outcome? Thanks
You can only do one side of the brain at a time. FDA has recently cleared some eligible patients to have the second side treated after 9 months
HOW TO CONTACT US ABOUT PARKINSON'S DISEASE IF YOU CAN HELP US
available in pakistan?
How much this treatment please
$78
I wanna do this treatment could you send me information please I'm from England
Hey , I wanted to ask you if you had the procedure and to ask about the result if you did , thank you
Problem with Focused Ultra sound is skull thickness
Has to be 4.0 to transfer heat .
A neurologist I was refereed to was to give me , what they called a HIFU. The neurologist was adamant. NO!! I was refereed back to my original neurologist and had a DBS (Meditronics) on Aug 8th, 2023. Careful what you wish for.
Don’t understand did you have already DBS?
I went to Madrid to see if I qualified to do Hifu and they told me no, that was better off with dbs
@@Lenteja77 I was told by my neurologist that HIFU was really only used for essential tremor or as a last resort for someone in last stages of Park. I had DBS surgery in early August.
@@garymoore3159 and how are you doing after the surgery? I’m interested to know from a patient perspective
I really don't understand why neither doctors nor patients want to be honest and straight forward about this procedure and the results???? It has been such a mystery to me for the past few years. Almost all doctors and patients have very tight lips about the MRI focused ultrasound procedure.....WHY ????? Must be a reason.......it is UNCONSCIONABLE
Is this the same as deep brain stimulation?
Thank you for your question. And, no - MRI Focused Ultrasound is a different technology and approach that Riverside now offers in addition to Deep Brain Stimulation to provide more options for our patients.
To read more about both, please visit our website at www.riversideonline.com/stroke where we have pages detailing the science behind each approach or speak with your neurologist.
No

So true..
Can you elaborate?
It only works on tremors
@@donnagreen9687 oh thanks I thought it worked only for growing hair...LOL. my friend thanks for your respond but what I meant was they never really tell you exactly what you get after the procedure. I am talking about transparency...just listen to these doctors or patients they sound more like commercials....I hope you get it now .....thanks
