Incision-Free Brain Surgery for Tremor

Premier Health has announced the implementation of MR-guided focused ultrasound, an incision-free brain surgery treatment for patients with essential tremor or tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease, available at Miami Valley Hospital. 

MR-guided focused ultrasound is a new technology from Neuravive used for therapeutic purposes. The treatment uses focused soundwaves guided by MRI to treat tremor, deep in the brain, with no incisions or permanent implants. It is a single procedure often performed on an outpatient basis.

Patients benefit from:

• Immediate results with the potential to reduce or eliminate tremors
• Minimally invasive with no incisions or sedation
• Outpatient procedure with quick recovery and minimal side effects

To find out if your patient might be a candidate for incision-free surgery for tremor, please call (800) 596-5936(800) 596-5936 or email miamivalleytremor@insightec.com.
