Neuro-HIFU Treatment for Patients with Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremor

The most effective incision-less technique for treating Parkinson’s disease symptoms

Tremor Relief in a Single HIFU Session for Parkinson’s Disease

A Single HIFU Treatment Session

Tremor is treated in a single session lasting approximately one and a half to two hours.

Immediate Results

Results can be observed immediately after the procedure.

No Hospitalisation Required

No incisions or hospital admission required. After a 1–2 hour post-treatment review and monitoring period, patients can return home with their prescribed medication plan. Within 24 hours, they can resume almost all normal daily activities.

Remote Consultations and Diagnostic Tests

Diagnosis and follow-up from anywhere through our online neurology consultations. Patients also have the option to undergo the preparatory CT scan at their local hospital, following our established protocols.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound in HIFU Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease

Neuro-HIFU: An Immediate Improvement in Quality of Life

HIFU treatment involves placing a helmet-like device on the patient’s head, which delivers High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound to the neuronal cells responsible for the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease and other movement disorders.

The millimetric precision required for this treatment is achieved thanks to image guidance with a 3 Tesla MRI scanner. High-field MRI technology provides the highest image resolution currently available for visualising the human brain.

The patient remains awake throughout the entire procedure and can observe the results immediately. As this is an outpatient treatment, patients can return home approximately four hours after completing the procedure and follow-up assessment.
