HIFU for Parkinson's at Duke

Duke Neurosurgery has completed its first case for treating the tremors associated with Parkinson's disease with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Neurosurgeons Nandan Lad, MD, PhD, and Stephen Harward, MD, PhD, and team have had remarkable results using HIFU for essential tremor. Lad says the procedure has been refined over the past few years. "There’s a focused ultrasound machine that is tailored for delivering 1,000 beams of ultrasound energy to a very specific target in that tremor circuit," said Lad. “When we disconnect that tremor circuit, the tremor stops.”
