Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) - MRgFUS for Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor

The city of Tiruchirappalli, also known as Trichy, has a unique dexterity of blending spirituality, modern development and the history of the city. The famous educational institutes, the core values of the people and the ancient, yet now thriving, Rockfort temple give the city a true character of modern-day advancement with an infusion of deep roots in heritage. Just like many cities, Trichy is still facing some modern-day health issues. For many, the case of Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremors, like other neurological disorders, has the ability to rip families apart due to the day-to-day struggles that one has to face.

Introduction to MRgFUS
People with severe tremors had to struggle with an insurmountable lack of options. Medications that eventually became ineffective, and radical surgeries that had long incisions, missed the mark. Today, the alternative is MRgFUS (Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound), which is a non-invasive option. Available at KIMS Hospitals in Hyderabad.

MRgFUS utilises MRI and high-intensity focused ultrasound to aim and treat the specific brain area that causes the tremors in a completely non-invasive manner. The entire procedure starts when the MRgFUS shifts the conscious patient to a sleep-like state. Immediate results mean that in many cases, the increased functioning of the patient is unmasked. General anaesthesia is not an option, and neither is any other form of anaesthesia, making the rest of the patient population a day, which is most of the time, the time that they return to their residences.

From Trichy to Hyderabad - Easy Journey With Video Conferencing

We at KIMS Neurosciences understand that travelling for preliminary check-ups can be difficult, especially for elderly patients. This is more so the case for those living in distant areas like Tiruchirappalli, Thanjavur, Karur, Ariyalur, and the surrounding districts. To help provide better services, teleconsultations have now been implemented.

Getting MRgFUS treatment is really simple.

• Step 1 - Video consultations: Our neurologists and neurosurgeons analyse your symptoms, past medical reports and scans to determine whether MRgFUS is the best option.
• Step 2 - Final Evaluation and Treatment in Hyderabad: If treatment is suitable, we will organise your transfer to KIMS Hospitals, Hyderabad. There, specialised MRIs will be conducted, and if found suitable, the MRgFUS procedure can be completed on the same day.

What are the benefits of getting MRgFUS done at KIMS Neurosciences?

• No surgery and 100% scar-free
• No general anesthesia is required - especially beneficial to elderly patients.
• Same day recovery from the procedure and quick return to regular activities.
• Real-time results - observed improvement in tremors almost instantly after the treatment.
• Treatment is MRI-Guided for maximum precision.

Patients who have had MRgFUS often have touching accounts about drinking coffee without spills, clearly writing, getting shirts buttoned, or doing other household chores with confidence. For a great number of people, it is more than just relief from tremors. It's about getting back the quality of life that they had once lost.

In-hand tremors that are a result of Parkinson's Disease, or Essential Tremor, are a nuisance, so why not take the first step: book a video consultation with KIMS Neurosciences, and see if MRgFUS can free you from your tremors.
