Implication

Single-center analysis found tcMRgFUS thalamotomy significantly improves quality of life in essential tremor patients, implying a favorable safety profile.

Key Points

tcMRgFUS thalamotomy significantly reduced tremor severity, improving quality of life and daily functioning for patients with essential tremor.
After the procedure, QUEST scores decreased by 46.2%, while TETRAS scores showed reductions of 52.2% and 51.8% respectively, indicating substantial improvements.
This observational analysis enrolled fifty patients, assessing their outcomes using validated tremor assessment scales and monitoring adverse events.
The study supports that tcMRgFUS thalamotomy has a favorable safety profile, with mostly mild to moderate adverse events and only one permanent effect noted.
