Novel Objective Tool to Assess Tremor Reveals Unilateral Focused Ultrasound Improves Tremor Bilaterally
Our objective method, which incorporated image processing and signal processing, provided a quantitative measure of tremor reduction following focused ultrasound thalamotomy. It demonstrated significant improvement in tremors in the treated and non-treated hands following focused ultrasound thalamotomy as well as deterioration in the efficacy of treatment over time. If replicated in other studies, this method may complement current subjective assessments.
