    HealthWatch with Lloyd Jackson ~ High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (One of Three)
    Dec 18 2025
    Dec. 18, 2025 ~ Tremor treatment is entering a transformative era. Lloyd Jackson spotlights Henry Ford neurosurgeons Dr. Deneeka Paulo and Dr. Efstathios Kondylis, who are pioneering the use of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) to restore quality of life for patients with essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease. This FDA-approved, incision-free procedure uses precisely targeted sound waves to treat the brain areas causing tremors—all without general anesthesia or implanted hardware. Patients typically go home the same day and often notice improvement within days, enabling them to return to everyday activities like writing, eating, and holding objects. Dr. Paulo emphasizes that HIFU offers hope for those who have exhausted medications or faced undesirable side effects, providing a safe, minimally invasive alternative that can dramatically reduce symptoms and help patients reclaim independence.
