MR-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy for lithium-induced tremor: a case report and literature review [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
Drug-induced tremor is a common side effect of lithium with an occurrence of approximately 25% of patients. Cessation of the offending drug can be difficult, and many medical treatments for drug-induced tremor are ineffective. Deep brain stimulation (DBS)

Management of Phantom Limb Pain through Thalamotomy of the Centro-Median Nucleus [PDF]

Neurology International, 2021
Background: Phantom limb syndrome is defined as the perception of intense pain or other sensations that are secondary to a neural lesion in a limb that does not exist. It can be treated using pharmacological and surgical interventions.

Altered Activation in Cerebellum Contralateral to Unilateral Thalamotomy May Mediate Tremor Suppression in Parkinson's Disease: A Short-Term Regional Homogeneity fMRI Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
BACKGROUND:Ventral intermediate nucleus thalamotomy is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease tremor. However, its mechanism is still unclear. PURPOSE:We used resting-state fMRI to investigate short-term ReHo changes after unilateral thalamotomy ...

Unilateral magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for medication-refractory essential tremor: 5-year continued access study [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundEssential tremor (ET) is a common neurologic disorder, with 30–50% of patients experiencing medication-refractory symptoms. Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy is an approved, effective treatment for medication ...

Novel Objective Tool to Assess Tremor Reveals Unilateral Focused Ultrasound Improves Tremor Bilaterally [PDF]

Neurology and Therapy
Background Tremor in essential tremor and in tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease is assessed by subjective observations in patients undergoing focused ultrasound thalamotomy, a minimally invasive procedure intended to alleviate tremor in these patients ...

Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound unilateral thalamotomy for medically refractory essential tremor: 3-year follow-up data [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionMagnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy of the ventralis intermediate (Vim) nucleus is an “incisionless” treatment for medically refractory essential tremor (ET). We present data on 49 consecutive cases of MRgFUS Vim

MRI Guided Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy for Moderate-to-Severe Tremor in Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson's Disease, 2015
Background. Thalamotomy is effective in alleviating tremor in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods. Seven PD patients, mean age 59.4 ± 9.8 years (range, 46–74) with a mean disease duration of 5.4 ± 2.8 years (range, 2–10) suffering from severe refractory ...

New technique for direct targeting of the ventral intermediate nucleus using magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound [PDF]

Frontiers in Radiology
BackgroundAccurate targeting and lesion placement are critical in treating movement disorders with magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS). Indirect atlas-based targeting often lacks precision. Direct anatomical targeting with 3T MRI offers
