We have started "tremor treatment" using focused ultrasound therapy (FUS).

Kitano Hospital has been preparing for some time and has begun offering focused ultrasound therapy (FUS), a surgical treatment for essential tremor and Parkinson's disease tremors that are resistant to medication, on Tuesday, March 2, 2021.

For patients who received treatment on the same day, results were seen at the end of treatment, and we will continue to follow up on these patients at our hospital, with the hope of establishing a system that will enable us to provide this treatment to even more patients in the future.

Regarding this treatmentTremor and Parkinson's Disease Outpatient ClinicPlease check.

Kitano Hospital will continue to strive to improve staff training and medical equipment so that it can provide better medical care to patients.

This treatment is only performed on patients who are deemed appropriate by a doctor after screening at our hospital before treatment. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that the same effect will be seen in all patients.
This treatment may cause side effects such as temporary numbness in the hands and feet, difficulty speaking and walking, and headaches.
