UNC Health\u2019s Department of Neurosurgery hosted the\u00a0focused ultrasound<\/a> open house on campus for UNC Health and School\"UNC of\u00a0Medicine leadership and faculty to thank them for their continued support of the focused ultrasound program.<\/p>\n

The open house included presentations from UNC Health leadership, functional neurosurgeon Dr. Vibhor Krishna, and from UNC Health focused ultrasound patient<\/a>, Doug Bell. The event also included tours of the state-of-the-art facility. \u201cThrough strategic partnerships and increased research collaboration, we aim to undertake clinical trials and expand indications for conditions like epilepsy, brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, offering hope where it\u2019s needed most,\u201d said Dr. Krishna. \u201cFurthermore, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of neurosurgeons and scientists, to make a wider impact, ensuring a legacy of healing and innovation in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Dr.Focused ultrasound is an incision-less treatment for patients with movement disorders. Like deep brain stimulation, Focused ultrasound can be an effective treatment option for patients who either don\u2019t respond to medication or initially respond to medication that eventually becomes ineffective. Focused ultrasound is an outpatient procedure, and many patients walk away from the procedure tremor-free.<\/p>\n

Dr. Krishna hopes to continue growing the focused ultrasound program at UNC Health. \u201cIn the next five years, we foresee a landscape where focused ultrasound treatment becomes a cornerstone of care, not only in North Carolina but beyond, touching the lives of patients worldwide,\u201d said Dr. Krishna.<\/p>\n
