Focused ultrasound for Parkinson's disease tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses focused ultrasound to treat tremor and movement problems in Parkinson's disease. It targets a specific brain area without surgery, and may help if your symptoms are worse on one side and not fully controlled by medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 30 years or older and have Parkinson's disease confirmed by a specialist.
- Your symptoms are mainly on one side of your body and not fully controlled by medication.
- You have significant tremor or movement issues that affect daily activities.
- You are willing to have MRI scans and lie still during the procedure.
- You do not have other brain conditions, bleeding risks, or metal implants that prevent MRI.

This trial studies a non-invasive procedure (MR-guided focused ultrasound) to treat Parkinson’s disease symptoms that are not well controlled by medicine. It aims to help people with significant movement problems improve their function, especially after testing how they do when medication wears off.
This trial tests a non-surgical treatment that uses focused ultrasound waves to create tiny lesions in a specific part of the brain to improve Parkinson's symptoms like stiffness, slowness, and involuntary movements. It may be an option for people who have had Parkinson's for a while and have motor complications from their medications.
This study tests if low-intensity ultrasound can safely change brain activity patterns in people with movement disorders like Parkinson's. You may be eligible if you already have a special brain implant that can record brain signals.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive ultrasound treatment, called transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS), can improve movement and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may be an option for those whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication alone.
This trial tests a non-invasive ultrasound treatment for Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if low intensity focused ultrasound can help improve symptoms without surgery.
This trial tests a noninvasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound waves to target a small area in the brain responsible for tremor. It may offer a new option for people with essential tremor whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication.
