In a clinical trial, a procedure using ultrasound and requiring no incisions successfully reduced a side effect of Parkinson’s treatments known as dyskinesia, which is an involuntary movement of the body.
The procedure used in the trial is called focused ultrasound ablation, which is different than using ultrasound for imaging purposes. Instead, focused ultrasound ablation is like using a magnifying glass to focus sunlight on a target. The ultrasound wavelengths can target body tissue, heat it, and destroy it. For the Parkinson’s procedure, the target was in the brain.
. “The procedure is incisionless, eliminating the risks associated with surgery. Using focused ultrasound, we can target a specific area of the brain and safely ablate the diseased tissue.”. A total of 94 patients were randomly assigned to receive the treatment or to participate in a sham procedure, which acted as a control. After 3 months, 69% of patients who got the treatment showed improvement.
“Feeling stressed or excited also can bring out dyskinesia,” according to information on the disorder from. “Many people say they prefer dyskinesia to stiffness or decreased mobility. Others, though, have painful dyskinesia or movements that interfere with exercise or social or daily activities.”
