Sound waves target Parkinson's brain to ease movement problems
NCT ID NCT03319485
Summary
This study is testing whether focused ultrasound can help people with advanced Parkinson's disease who still have severe movement problems despite taking medication. The treatment uses sound waves to create a small, precise lesion in a specific brain area to reduce involuntary movements and motor fluctuations. Participants are adults with medication-resistant Parkinson's who will be randomly assigned to receive either the real ultrasound treatment or a sham procedure for comparison.
