MRgFUS Pallidotomy for the Treatment of Task Specific Focal Hand Dystonia (TSFD)

Phase 1 Clinical Trial for MR Guided Focused Ultrasound (FUS) Pallidotomy for the Treatment of Task Specific Focal Hand Dystonia (TSFD)

Sponsor

University of Maryland, Baltimore

Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

Jun 10, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Task-Specific Focal Dystonia

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) for treating task specific focal hand dystonias (TSFD). TSFD is a type of dystonia that affects hand movements during specific tasks such as writing, playing instruments or typing, often causing involuntarily movements or cramping.

Interventions

DEVICEExAblate Transcranial treatment

The ExAblate Transcranial system will be used to destroy a small cluster of cells that may be causing the study participant's dystonia . The ExAblate uses ultrasound to heat a small spot in the brain called globus pallidus internus(GPi). Ultrasound passes through the skin and skull and into the brain to focus on this particular spot.
