Sound waves target Parkinson's brain to control unwanted movements

NCT ID NCT03319485

Summary

This study is testing a non-surgical procedure that uses focused sound waves to create a small, precise lesion in a part of the brain involved in Parkinson's movement problems. It aims to help people with advanced Parkinson's whose involuntary movements (dyskinesia) or motor fluctuations are not well-controlled by medication. The goal is to see if this one-time treatment is safe and effective at reducing these difficult symptoms.
