- A study analyzed the safety and effectiveness of unilateral focused ultrasound (FUS) thalamotomy to treat essential tremor in 35 Japanese patients, showing positive results over a year-long follow-up.
- Patients experienced a significant 56.4% reduction in tremor severity and a 46.3% improvement in quality of life, with the reduction in tremors maintained throughout the year.
