abstract = {Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) is an
emerging technique for the treatment of severe,
medication-refractory tremor syndromes. We here report motor
and non-motor outcomes 6 and 12 months after unilateral
MRgFUS thalamotomy in tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease
(tdPD).25 patients with tdPD underwent neuropsychological
evaluation including standardized questionnaires of
disability, quality of life (QoL), mood, anxiety, apathy,
sleep disturbances, and cognition at baseline, 6 and 12
months after MRgFUS. Motor outcome was evaluated using the
Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor (CRST) and Movement
Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale
(MDS-UPDRS). In addition, side effects and QoL of family
caregivers were assessed.12 months after MRgFUS significant
improvements were evident in the tremor subscores. Patients
with concomitant rest and postural tremor showed better
tremor outcomes compared to patients with predominant rest
tremor. There were no differences in the non-motor
assessments. No cognitive decline was observed. Side effects
were mostly transient $(54\%)$ and classified as mild
$(62\%).$ No changes in the caregivers' QoL could be
observed.We found no changes in mood, anxiety, apathy,
sleep, cognition or persistent worsening of gait
disturbances after unilateral MRgFUS thalamotomy in tdPD.
Concomitant postural tremors responded better to treatment
than predominant rest tremors.},
