Magnetic Resonance Image Guided Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy. A Single Center Experience With 160 Procedures

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
IntroductionMRgFUS thalamotomy has gained popularity as an FDA approved, non-invasive treatment for patients with Essential Tremor and tremor predominant Parkinson's Disease. We present our initial clinical experience with 160 consecutive cases of MRgFUS

Hierarchical Dynamic Causal Modeling of Resting-State fMRI Reveals Longitudinal Changes in Effective Connectivity in the Motor System after Thalamotomy for Essential Tremor

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2017
Thalamotomy at the ventralis intermedius nucleus for essential tremor is known to cause changes in motor circuitry, but how a focal lesion leads to progressive changes in connectivity is not clear. To understand the mechanisms by which thalamotomy exerts

Gamma knife radiosurgery for essential tremor: A Case report and review of the literature

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2010
Approximately 5 million people in America are affected by essential tremors (ET), which are classified as a type of benign movement disorder. This disease manifests as tremors that usually occur in the hands, but they may also be present in the head ...

Immediate and Longitudinal Alterations of Functional Networks after Thalamotomy in Essential Tremor

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2016
Thalamotomy at the ventralis intermedius nucleus has been an effective treatment method for essential tremor, but how the brain network changes immediately responding to this deliberate lesion and then reorganizes afterwards are not clear.
