Focused-ultrasound developer InSightec said that its ExAblate Neuro MR-guided focused ultrasound system has been used in clinical studies to treat 30 patients suffering from chronic neurological disorders.
Conducted by functional neurosurgeons, neurologists, and neuroradiologists in Switzerland and the U.S., the clinical trials are evaluating the safety and initial efficacy of the investigational system for treating essential tremor, neuropathic pain, and Parkinson's disease, according to the company.
