Benefits of ExAblate Treatment for Parkinson's Disease

Peggy, I agree with you about InSightec's ExAblate treatment. It seems very exciting. I spoke with the team testing it at the U of Va. a few weeks ago at a research conference. They are still waiting for final FDA approval to begin the PD study (not sure why its taking so long). The have begun researching it on PD in Switzerland. They are much further along with researching its use on Essential Tremor and told me the results have been great. They think they will get equally good results on PD Tremor since they intend to hit the exact same spot in the brain.

Just think if they can get similar results to DBS without having the surgery and other issues that go along with it..........
