Effectiveness and Safety of Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Subthalamotomy and Pallidotomy for Parkinson’s Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (P6-13.002)

Abstract

Magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) has emerged as a noninvasive alternative to deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and globus pallidus internus (GPi) are well-established surgical targets, their relative effectiveness and safety when treated with MRgFUS have not been clearly defined.
