Madurai is also known as one of the oldest cities still inhabited in India. It is known for modern development paired with cultural heritage. Madurai is also known for the Meenakshi Amman Temple, vibrant markets, and a booming textile industry, which is loved by its citizens. Difficulties in life brought by modern-day life, like stress, sedentary lifestyles, and ageing populations, are becoming common health issues. Even with the challenges tradition brings, people are suffering from the impact of pause, like shaky hands and Parkinson's Disease, on people's mobility, independence, and life in general.
The Solution of Movement Disorders: MRgFUS
Multidecade tremor patients who are unable to do much because of the wide array of motion that is very disabling, having a tremor disorder, are left with little in terms of treatment options, which still tend to rely on radical brain surgery. There is an MRgFUS (Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound) treatment that can provide a more revolutionary alternative treatment, which is also available in KIMS Hospitals, Hyderabad.
The high-intensity focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) patients receive at KIMS Neurosciences targets the part of the brain responsible for tremors with the use of ultrasound waves while being monitored by an MRI. Most importantly, the entire process is done without any stitches or incisions, and patients are not put under anaesthesia. During the entire duration of the treatment, the patients are expected to be conscious. Quite a lot of patients have stated they're able to perceive an improvement in tremor control almost instantly. Moreover, patients have reported that the recovery time is so minimal that they are able to go back home on the same day of the procedure.
Patients and families who are located in the regions of Madurai, Sivaganga, and Dindigul often have difficulty in being able to travel for the initial assessment. For this reason, KIMS Neurosciences is able to offer remote consultations.
The initial step in this process is the Initial Video Consultation. During this step, patients of KIMS Hospitals are able to communicate with the neurosurgeons and neurologists over a secure video platform. A dedicated team of medical professionals will evaluate previous medical histories and medical scans and determine whether the patient is suited for the treatment of MRgFUS.
The KIMS Hospitals team in Hyderabad will arrange for the patient's travel, and upon confirmation of eligibility, a comprehensive MRI sleep scan will be performed. The entire process is streamlined to usually be completed in a day, thanks to the quick MRgFUS procedure done in KIMS Hospitals, Hyderabad.
Patients are not required to go through the MRgFUS process by KIMS Neurosciences since they have the option of choosing a different medical institute. MRgFUS is preferred because the patient does not have to go through any complicated procedures.
Patients having Magnetic Resonance guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery claim it is life-transforming. They are able to drink tea without spilling, write postcards legibly and do other common things without excessive shaking. It is not only about the tremors, it is about the confidence, independence and dignity.
