Bilateral focused ultrasound thalamotomy for essential tremor (BEST-FUS trial): safety and efficacy proof of principle
Objective: The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of staged, bilateral, focused ultrasound thalamotomies for essential tremor. Background: Essential…Somatosensory temporal discrimination in essential tremor treated with HIFU VIM thalamotomy: tremoric and lesional effects on the STDT
Objective: To compare somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold (STDT) with and without tremor in a cohort of essential tremor (ET) patients. Additionally, to compare STDT previously…Safety and efficacy of focused ultrasound staged bilateral thalamotomy for Essential tremor
Objective: To report preliminary results on the safety and efficacy of staged bilateral magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy for the treatment of essential tremor…Direct Targeting of the VIM Nucleus during High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) by Direct Visualization
Objective: To determine the “functional” target within VIM Nucleus of the Thalamus during HIFU with high field MRI. Background: Targeting of neuronal structures has been…Efficacy of unilateral thalamotomy by MRgFUS in essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease in a large cohort of patients
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and adverse events of unilateral lesions of the ventral intermediate (VIM) nucleus of the thalamus (thalamotomy) by magnetic resonance guided…Delayed lesion adverse effects of gamma knife radiosurgical thalamotomy for essential tremor
Objective: To describe a novel case of gamma knife radiosurgical (GKRS) thalamotomy for treatment of refractory essential tremor (ET) with delayed onset adverse effects due…Effect on somatosensory pathway and balance control after unilateral MRgFUS Vim thalamotomy in patients with essential tremor
Objective: To identify the effect on somatosensory pathway and balance control after unilateral MRgFUS Vim thalamotomy in patients with essential tremor. Background: Essential tremor (ET)…The first tremor dominant Parkinson’s Disease treatment in Taiwan using MR-guided focused ultrasound
Objective: The experience we performed the first tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease treatment using MR-guided focused ultrasound in Taiwan to relief resting tremor of hand. Background: There…Efficacy of Stereotactic lesioning in Multi-etiological tremor
Objective: Analyse our experience with Stereotactic lesioning for multi-etiological tremor. Background: Lesioning in tremor had been one of the most widely used procedures before the…Analysis of brain network changes due to focused ultrasound VIM thalamotomy
Objective: To explore the brain network change after stereotactic functional surgery, we analyzed the functional connectivity using resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) of the essential tremor…
