ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The efficacy of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy for the treatment of focal hand dystonia (FHD) is not well known.OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to prospectively investigate the efficacy of MRgFUS thalamotomy for the treatment of FHD.METHODS:
We performed MRgFUS thalamotomy of the ventro-oral (Vo) nucleus in 10 patients with FHD. We evaluated the scores of the Writer's Cramp Rating Scale (WCRS, 0-30; higher scores indicating greater severity), Tubiana Musician's Dystonia Scale (TMDS, 0-5; lower scores indicating greater severity), and Arm Dystonia Disability Scale (ADDS, 0%-100%; lower scores indicating greater disability) at baseline and 3 and 12 months post-treatment.RESULTS:
WCRS, TMDS, and ADDS scores significantly improved from 6.3 ± 2.7, 1.4 ± 0.5, and 58.7% ± 14.3% at baseline to 1.6 ± 3.1 (P = 0.011), 5.0 ± 0 (P = 0.0001), and 81.6% ± 22.9% (P = 0.0229) at 12 months, respectively. There was one prolonged case of dysarthria at 12 months.CONCLUSION:
We show that MRgFUS Vo-thalamotomy significantly improved FHD. © 2021 The Authors. Movement Disorders published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.Palabras clave
