Clinical Trials Vibhor Krishna, MD SM is currently running
Focused Ultrasound Ablation
for Essential Tremor
The investigators propose to advance Vim-FUSA (Ventral Intermediate Nucleus - Focused Ultrasound Ablation) with the support of 3-D tractography, a neuroimaging technique to visually represent nerve tracts within the brain. The investigators hypothesize that 3-D tractography Vim-FUSA will improve the Vim ablation compared to standard Vim-FUSA and prove safe and feasible in the clinical setting. The investigators also hypothesize that intraoperative magnetic resonance (i-MR) monitoring will differentiate ablated tissue from immediate perilesional edema and accurately predict the Vim-FUSA clinical outcomes.

Focused Ultrasound
for Epilepsy
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) in patients with epilepsy whose medicines are not working well. The ExAblate (ExAblate) transcranial system is the name of the device that will be used to create and send ultrasound waves through the scalp and skull precisely to a small structure located in the center of the brain. This structure is known as the "Anterior Nucleus", and is an important region in the brain that may cause the seizures. Safety will be measured by recording and analyzing any adverse effects that may occur from the day of the experimental surgery through 12 months following the surgery.
