Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of staged bilateral subthalamotomy performed using the ExAblate Transcranial System for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) motor features
Detailed Description
The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence and severity of adverse events (AE/AEs) associated with ExAblate Transcranial Magnetic Resonance Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) bilateral staged subthalamotomy for the treatment of PD motor features. To determine the effectiveness of the ExAblate Transcranial staged bilateral subthalamotomy to treat cardinal motor features of subjects with PD.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Safety: Adverse Events
Time Frame: Treatment through 6 month
To evaluate the incidence and severity of adverse events (AE/AEs) associated with ExAblate subthalamotomy for the treatment of PD motor features.
Primary Efficacy: Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Off Medication Status
Time Frame: Treatment through 6 month
Effectiveness of the ExAblate Transcranial staged bilateral subthalamotomy by analyzing mean change (reduction from baseline to 6 months) in the motor MDS-UPDRS score in the treated group as compared with baseline in the off-medication condition
Secondary Outcomes
- Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) On Medication Status(Treatment through 6 month)
- MDS-UPDRS(Treatment through 12 month)
- MDS-UPDRS (Part I, II and IV)(Treatment through 6 month)
- Quality of life assessment(Treatment through 6 month)
