Clinical Trial: Assessment of MRI-guided HIFU for Patients With Drug-resistant Focal Epilepsy

U.S., May 16 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07591350) titled 'Assessment of MRI-guided HIFU for Patients With Drug-resistant Focal Epilepsy' on April 16.

Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility, safety, and tolerance of MRI-guided High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of drug-resistant focal epilepsy in adult patients with MRI-visible brain lesions.

The main question it aims to answer is whether HIFU can safely and effectively achieve the target ablative temperature (>=52 degC) within epileptogenic lesions, thereby enabling successful thermal ablation of the epileptogenic focus.

This pilot, single-center study is single arm, prospective...
