Abstract in brief
This pilot study investigated the use of focused ultrasound (FUS) pallidothalamic tractotomy as a treatment for cervical dystonia, finding significant improvements in symptom severity and dystonia scales over 6 months.
The primary outcome was measured by the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS), which showed a notable reduction, indicating symptom improvement; secondary measures like mood and adverse events were also monitored.
While results are promising, some patients experienced side effects such as reduced hand dexterity and weight gain, and the study involved only ten patients, so more research is needed to confirm safety and efficacy.
Thrilled to report the world’s first clinical trial of focused ultrasound for cervical dystonia, thanks to the support of the FUS Foundation. This treatment is sure to make a global impact! #Cervical #Dystonia #Focused #Ultrasound #FUSFoundation https://t.co/OoUC7QsP1l
