简要总结

The proposed study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ExAblate Transcranial MRgFUS as a tool for creating a unilateral lesion in the Vim thalamus or the globus pallidus (GPi) in patients with treatment-refractory symptoms of movement disorders.

详细描述

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and initial effectiveness of MRI-guided focused ultrasound thermal ablation of a designated area in the brain of patients suffering from movement disorder symptoms:

  • FUS under MRI-guidance and MRI-based thermometry can be safely delivered to patients suffering from treatment-refractory movement disorders through an intact human skull with a low risk of transient adverse effects as evaluated during follow-up of up to 12-months.
  • A pre-defined target volume inside the brain can be accurately ablated, as demonstrated on post-treatment MRI.
  • Lesions generated with ExAblate Neuro will result in clinical effects that are similar to those seen with ablative procedures using other surgical techniques (e.g. RF procedure).

入选标准

  • Men and women, between 18 and 85 years, inclusive.
  • Subjects who are able and willing to give consent and able to attend all study visits.
  • A movement disorder symptom that has been deemed treatment-refractory by a movement disorder neurologist, including:
  • o akathisia, akinesia, athetosis, bradykinesia, chorea, dystonia, tremor, myoclonus, dyskinesia, spasms, tics
  • Medication-refractoriness as determined by an adequate dose and duration of standard movement disorders treatment as determined by a specialist neurologist (e.g. a trial of primidone and propranolol for ET)
  • Able to communicate sensations during the ExAblate Neuro treatment
  • Stable doses of all medications for 30 days prior to study entry and for the duration of the study.

排除标准

  • Patients with unstable cardiac status including:
  • Unstable angina pectoris on medication
  • Patients with documented myocardial infarction within six months of protocol entry
  • Congestive heart failure requiring medication (other than diuretic)
  • Patients on anti-arrhythmic drugs
  • Severe hypertension (diastolic BP > 100 on medication)
  • Patients with standard contraindications for MR imaging such as non-MRI compatible implanted metallic devices including cardiac pacemakers, size limitations, etc.
  • History of abnormal bleeding and/or coagulopathy (including deep venous thrombosis)
  • Cerebrovascular disease (multiple CVA or CVA within 6 months)
  • Symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure (e.g. headache, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and papilledema)
  • Untreated, uncontrolled sleep apnea
  • Active or suspected acute or chronic uncontrolled infection
  • History of intracranial hemorrhage
  • Individuals who are not able or willing to tolerate the required prolonged stationary supine position during treatment
  • Are participating or have participated in another clinical trial in the last 30 days
  • Patients unable to communicate with the investigator and staff.
  • Presence of any other neurodegenerative disease like multisystem atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease.
  • Patients with a history of seizures within the past year
  • Patients with psychiatric illness that are not well controlled. Any presence of psychosis will be excluded.
  • Patients with risk factors for intraoperative or postoperative bleeding (platelet count less than 100,000 per cubic millimeter) or a documented coagulopathy
  • Patients with brain tumors
  • Any illness that in the investigator's opinion preclude participation in this study.
  • Pregnancy or lactation.
  • Patient is unable to provide his own consent for any reason.
  • Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity.
  • Patients who have DBS or a prior stereotactic ablation of the basal ganglia
  • History of immunocompromise, including patient who is HIV positive
  • Known life-threatening systemic disease
