The first system capable of eliminating completely or partially the tremors of Parkinson's disease has come into operation in Italy.
Made in Israel, the MrgFUS was installed at the Borgo Trento Hospital of the Integrated University Hospital Company in Verona.
The futuristic device, called MrgFUS, acronym for Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound, is effective in 80 percent of patients and provides healing with myriad benefits over standard treatments.
It has no side effects; works without radiation; doesn't cause any kind of pain; avoids the possibility of contracting hospital bacterial infections – responsible for 7,000 deaths each year in Italy; requires no surgery and anesthesia and is not invasive.
In short, it’s a revolutionary machine that will change the quality of life of many patients for the better. In addition to Parkinson's tremors, it can also treat neuropathic pain and certain forms of tumors.
