Abstract

Unilateral FUS thalamotomy allowed significant and sustained tremor relief and improved the quality of life with an outstanding safety profile. The observed safety and efficacy of FUS thalamotomy were comparable to those reported in a previous multicenter study with a low SDR, and inclusion of the low SDR group did not affect effectiveness.
