About this study

This is a post-approval registry which is required by of the approval under PMA P150038/S006 for the Exablate® Model 4000 (Exablate Neuro) Type 1.0 and Type 1.1 for unilateral thalamotomy in the treatment of medication refractory Tremor Dominant Parkinson's Disease (TDPD). Subjects participating in this registry will have received a unilateral thalamotomy (ventralis medius) prior to enrollment using the commercially available Exablate Neuro for the treatment of Essential tremor and TDPD.

The following assessments will be collected at Baseline,1, 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
  • Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST) ON medication
  • Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III ON medication
  • EQ-5D-5L
  • WPAI-GH

Treatment and study plan

Unilateral thalamotomy

Device

Unilateral thalamotomy using focused ultrasound for the treatment of medication-refractory tremor dominant idiopathic Parkinson's Disease.

Primary outcomes

  1. Long-term adverse events.

    Time frame: Five years.

    This registry will collect the long-term safety data after performing thalamotomy for TDPD using the Exablate Neuro system.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Tremor/motor intensity and impact on disability

    Time frame: Five years.

    Long term tremor motor scores and the impact of tremor on disability will be monitored using components of the Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST)
