Conditions Treated with MRgFUS at KIMS Hospital
- Uterine Fibroids
MRgFUS offers a non-surgical solution to fibroids, which are benign growths in the uterus. This treatment helps shrink the fibroid tissue, reducing symptoms like heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure without affecting fertility.
- Essential Tremors
For patients suffering from debilitating hand tremors, MRgFUS can precisely target the thalamus (a specific area of the brain), significantly reducing tremors and improving quality of life — all without opening the skull.
- Bone Metastases
Patients with advanced cancer often experience painful bone metastases. MRgFUS provides targeted pain relief by focusing ultrasound energy directly on the affected bone areas, reducing reliance on opioids and improving mobility.
- Parkinson’s Disease (Tremor-Dominant Cases)
In patients where medication fails or deep brain stimulation isn’t suitable, MRgFUS offers a promising, incisionless option to control tremors related to Parkinson’s Disease.
Why Choose MRgFUS at KIMS Hospital?
- Non-Invasive Procedure: No incisions, no scars, and no blood loss—leading to lower risk of complications and infections.
- Pinpoint Accuracy: Real-time MRI guidance allows doctors to treat only the affected tissue, preserving surrounding healthy areas.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients can resume normal activities within a day or two, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
- Outpatient-Based Treatment: MRgFUS is typically performed as a day-care procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day.
- Reduced Use of General Anesthesia: Many MRgFUS procedures are performed under local or minimal sedation, making it safer for elderly or high-risk patients.
- Clinically Proven Safety & Effectiveness: Supported by global research, MRgFUS has shown excellent outcomes across multiple conditions, with fewer complications compared to traditional surgery.
