Evaluate the 5-year efficacy, safety profile, and quality-of-life outcomes of magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy in individuals with essential tremor.
Conducted a single-center study examining 5-year clinical outcomes following magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy.
Treated patients presenting with disabling, medication-resistant essential tremor.
Magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy produced sustained, long-term tremor relief in patients with severe, drug-resistant essential tremor.
Patients achieved lasting improvements in quality of life alongside a demonstrated favorable procedure safety profile over 5 years of follow-up.
