New registry to monitor brain ultrasound for Parkinson's tremors
NCT ID NCT05539196
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks people with advanced Parkinson's disease who receive a treatment called Exablate, which uses focused ultrasound to target a small area in the brain. The goal is to see how well it reduces medication-resistant motor problems like shaking and stiffness. Researchers will follow 60 participants for up to 5 years to measure improvements and any side effects.
