Summary

This study was designed to test the safety and feasibility of a focused ultrasound device called Exablate Neuro with a new Echo-Focusing feature for people with treatment-resistant brain disorders like essential tremor or depression. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data or results are available. The goal was to see if this non-invasive technique could improve quality of life without surgery.
