October 7-8, 2023-the Philippine General Hospital hosted the 1st Southeast Asia Neuro MRgFUS workshop wherein delegates from Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines, came together for a 2-day conference to learn from leading experts in the field of MRgFUS and observe live MRgFUS treatments done by the Philippine General Hospital HIFU team.
MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is an incisionless procedure for the treatment of movement disorders such as Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s disease. It combines two technologies-high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which is guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to alter a small area of tissue in the brain responsible for the tremor. One of the most debilitating aspects of Essential Tremor and Tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease is the uncontrollable shaking or tremors, which can make even simple daily activities such as eating, drinking, grooming, or writing, an impossible task. With MRgFUS, patients are able to see immediate results in tremor improvement during and right after the treatment, enabling them to gain back their independence and improve their quality of life.
If you or your loved one is suffering from Essential Tremor, Tremor-dominant Parkinson’s Disease, or X-linked Dystonia Parkinsonism and would like to be assessed for MRgFUS treatment, please visit treatyourtremor.com.
