Sound waves target Parkinson's shaking in new trial
NCT ID NCT04002596
Summary
This small study tested whether a non-invasive, focused ultrasound procedure could safely reduce severe hand and arm tremor in people with Parkinson's disease whose shaking doesn't respond well to medication. Ten participants had ultrasound waves precisely aimed at a small area in the brain to calm the tremor. Researchers measured changes in tremor severity and quality of life over one year to see if the treatment was helpful and safe.
