Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III OFF Medication

    OFF-medication, Upper + Lower Extremity motor score from the MDS-UPDRS Part III comparing Month 3 post Bilateral treatment to Baseline. Lower score on the scale means a better outcome.

    Up to Month 3 post Bilateral Treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part II

    Up to Month 12 post Bilateral Treatment

Other Outcomes (2)

  • MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III OFF Medication

    Up to Month 12 post Bilateral Treatment

  • MDS-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part IV

    Up to Month 12 post Bilateral Treatment

Study Arms (1)

EXPERIMENTAL

Exablate treatment for Advanced Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease

Device: Exablate 4000

Interventions
