Clinical Trial: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasonic Ablation of the Centromedian Thalamic Nucleus for Treatment of Medically Refractory Generalized Epilepsy in Patients Ages 18 Years to 89 Years

U.S., Sept. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07803692) titled 'High-Intensity Focused Ultrasonic Ablation of the Centromedian Thalamic Nucleus for Treatment of Medically Refractory Generalized Epilepsy in Patients Ages 18 Years to 89 Years' on Aug. 10.

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to find out if magnetic resonance (MRI)-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is safe and effective for treating medically refractory generalized epilepsy. HIFU is a procedure that delivers ultrasonic waves to brain regions with great precision to remove tissue that may cause problems. HIFU is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for treating patients with essential tremor.
