A major unmet need in Parkinson's disease (PD) is to slow the inexorable progression of neurodegeneration. Clinical trials that evaluated promising pharmacological strategies have repeatedly failed. Nonetheless, the advent of focused ultrasound provides new opportunities toward the goal of developing a safe and effective disease‐modifying therapy for PD. Here we discuss the rationale, possible avenues,...
MR‐guided focused ultrasound is a novel, minimally invasive surgical procedure for symptomatic treatment of PD. With this technology, the ventral intermediate nucleus, STN, and internal globus pallidus have been targeted for therapeutic cerebral ablation, while also minimizing the risk of hemorrhage and infection from more invasive neurosurgical procedures. In a double‐blinded, prospective, sham‐controlled...
