Revolutionary Knifeless Brain Procedure For Treating Tremors In Parkinson's Disease
Treat Parkinson’s Tremors with Advanced Knifeless Brain Procedure at KIMS Hospitals
Experience the revolutionary potential of incisionless surgery with MRgFUS (Magnetic Resonance guided Focussed UltraSound) at Telangana's only Neuro Center.
KIMS Hospital is the only neurocare center in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and second in India, aided by expertise and technology, that provides an MRgFUS (Magnetic Resonance guided Focussed UltraSound) therapy to Essential Tremors and Parkinson's patients with tremors. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. One of the most common symptoms of Parkinson's is tremor, which can be debilitating and interfere with daily activities.
At KIMS Hospitals, we are proud to offer MRgFUS (Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound) as a safe and effective treatment for tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease. MRgFUS is a non invasive procedure that uses high intensity focused ultrasound waves to target and destroy a small area of the brain tissue responsible for tremors.
Benefits of MRgFUS for Parkinson's Patients with Tremors
- No incisions or anesthesia required
- Proven to reduce tremors severity and improve quality of life
- Minimal side effects
- Go home the same day
- Good option for patients who cannot tolerate medication or are not candidates for surgery
Why Choose KIMS Hospitals for MRgFUS?
- Experienced team of neurologists and specialists
- State-of-the-art MRgFUS technology
- Personalized care and support
Futuristic medicine begins right here!
Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a medical treatment option for people with essential tremor or tremor dominant Parkinson's disease who have not responded to medication or are unwilling to undergo invasive surgery. The method involves using focused beams of ultrasonic energy guided by MRI to target locations deep in the brain with no incisions or permanent implants.

Same-Day Tremor Relief
Even slight tremors can disrupt everyday tasks and make life difficult. Our modern Neuro Care technology, together with our handpicked neurologic experts, distinguishes us as one of the first facilities in India to offer the MRgFUS (Magnetic Resonance guided Focussed UltraSound) solution for tremors; the best, most successful, and incision-free way to treat tremors.
EXABLATE NEURO
Patients with Essential Tremor and Tremor dominant Parkinson's Disease can now benefit from the therapeutic power of focused ultrasound by harnessing acoustic energy. The future of neurosurgery has come.
KIMS Hospitals is the first among its peers to launch a focused ultrasound platform into the Telangana market to treat Essential Tremor and Parkinson's Disease. This procedure, which uses up to 1,024 ultrasonic pulses across specific spots in the skull to precisely ablate a target deep in the brain, is conducted incision-free in the MRI suite as an outpatient.
In the Focused Ultrasound treatment, a treating specialist sits at a computer in the MRI control room and expertly marks and creates a lesion in the skull using a mouse rather than a knife. This treatment is guided by MR imaging for patient-specific treatment planning, which includes real-time thermal feedback and continuous treatment monitoring.
FAQ
What is MRgFUS, and how does it work for Parkinson's tremor?
MRgFUS (Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound) is a non invasive procedure that uses high intensity focused ultrasound waves to target and destroy a small area of the brain tissue responsible for tremors. This procedure can help reduce tremors in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Am I a good candidate for MRgFUS?
To determine if you're a good candidate for MRgFUS, a neurologist will evaluate your condition, medical history, and overall health. Patients with tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease who are not responding well to medication may be eligible for this procedure.
What are the risks and side effects of MRgFUS?
MRgFUS is generally considered a safe procedure with minimal risks. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential side effects, such as temporary headaches, fatigue, or swelling at the treatment site. Serious side effects are rare.
How long does the MRgFUS procedure take?
The MRgFUS procedure typically takes several hours, but the exact duration may vary depending on individual factors.
What can I expect after the MRgFUS procedure?
Most patients can go home the same day after the MRgFUS procedure. Recovery time is generally short, and you may notice a reduction in tremors within a few weeks. However, the full benefits of the procedure may take several months to become apparent.
Can people with other health conditions still get MRgFUS?
Yes, if their conditions are well-managed. Eligible patients include those with controlled hypertension, diabetes, mild heart or lung issues, stable kidney disease, early dementia, osteoarthritis, a history of surgeries (without metal implants), controlled mental health conditions, mild liver disease, or managed thyroid conditions.
