Immediate Motor Control Enhancement via Pallidothalamic Tract (<scp>PTT</scp>) Circuit Ablation: A Dual‐Target <scp>MR</scp>‐Guided Focused Ultrasound Approach for Tremor‐Dominant Parkinson's Disease
These findings highlight the immediate therapeutic impact of PTT lesioning following VIM lesioning in the same treatment session, reinforcing its role as a crucial add-on target for managing refractory PD symptoms beyond tremor. This dtMRgFUS approach offers a more comprehensive motor benefit, particularly for patients with rigidity.
