Reports significant tremor and disability improvement in older patients through noninvasive thalamotomy, suggesting its viability.
Unilateral MRgHIFU thalamotomy is a safe and effective noninvasive treatment for ET in patients ≥ 80 years of age. It results in significant improvements in tremor and disability, with a low complication rate. These findings support its consideration for older patients who are ineligible for invasive procedures and highlight the importance of age-specific metrics in neuromodulation outcomes research.
