About this study
In plain language
This study tracks the long-term safety and results of treatment with the Exablate Neuro system. The treatment destroys a small area on one side of the brain to help control shaking. It is for adults age 30 and older with Parkinson’s disease whose main symptom is shaking that medicines do not control.
The objectives of this study are to collect the long-term safety and effectiveness data of performing thalamotomy for tremor dominant Parkinson's Disease (TDPD) using the Exablate Neuro system.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
