This is a post-approval registry which is required by of the approval under PMA P150038/S014 for the Exablate® Model 4000 (Exablate Neuro) Type 1.0 and Type 1.1 for unilateral pallidotomy in the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's Disease with medication-refractory moderate to severe motor complications. Subjects participating in this registry will have received a unilateral pallidotomy using the commercially available Exablate Neuro.

The following assessments will be collected at Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months post Exablate procedure and annually thereafter for 5 years:

Adverse Events (AEs) (does not apply to Baseline Visit) Medication usage MDS-UPDRS Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale EQ-5D-5L WPAI-GH Clinician and Patient Global Impression of Change Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire

Primary outcomes

  1. Responder Analysis

    Time frame: 5 years

    Primary Effectiveness will be evaluated through a Responder analysis. Responder is defined as the patient reaching a minimally clinically significant difference on: 1) UDysRS Objective Assessment ON Meds, without clinically significant worsening of MDS-UPDRS Part III OFF Meds aggregated extremity score for treated side Or 2) MDS-UPDRS Part III OFF Meds Motor Exam on the treated side, without clinically significant worsening of UDysRS Objective Assessment ON meds

Other outcomes

  1. Safety Analysis

    Time frame: 5 years

    Safety will be evaluated through descriptive analysis of the incidence and severity of adverse events. Adverse events will be recorded and categorized according to severity, expectedness, and relationship to Exablate Neuro system pallidotomy procedure and/or disease progression.
