The study was conducted by the researchers from the University of Virginia School of Medicine.The research revealed that an initial test to determine if a scalpel-free form of brain surgery can reduce tremor caused by Parkinson's disease has produced encouraging results. Further research needs to be carried in this regard, says the researchers.
For the study 27 participants, in the age group of 67.8 years, and 26 of them were male, suffering from Parkinson's were taken into consideration and the research was conducted at Swedish Neuroscience Institute in Seattle.
During the study period, 20 of them were treated with focused ultrasound waves on their brains, while the others received a fake procedure, to account for any potential placebo effect. All the participants were under medical treatment and continued with the medication during the study period as well.
Following the study it was found that the participants who received the focused ultrasound procedure had a 62 percent improvement in their hand tremor three months later.
Meanwhile, the participants witnessed certain side-effects like mild numbness on one side of the body, which improved, and numbness of the face and finger, which were persistent. Two subjects also experienced partial weakness that recovered or improved during the study.
The study was recently published in the scientific journal JAMA Neurology.
