Abstract

Background: Magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a non-invasive therapeutic technique that utilizes focused ultrasound waves to generate heat at specific tissue targets within the brain. This emerging technology holds promise for its precision and potential benefits in comparison to traditional surgical interventions. This investigation involves a scoping review, summarizing insights from various studies that explore the advantages, limitations, and outcomes associated with MRgFUS in the treatment of dystonia.

Methods: This scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Data available on MRgFUS use in the management of different types of dystonia were extracted.

Results: There is limited data available (n = 11). In the surveyed literature, MRgFUS has consistently shown clinical benefit in patients with dystonia. It is an emerging avenue of treatment and has its challenges.

Conclusion: This scoping review highlighted the early but encouraging applications of MRgFUS in dystonia management. While data was limited, existing studies consistently demonstrated positive clinical outcomes. The non-invasive and precise nature of MRgFUS positions it as a promising avenue for further research, despite the challenges associated with its emergent status. This review sets the stage for future inquiries, emphasizing its potential as a valuable tool in dystonia treatment.

肌张力障碍中的磁共振引导聚焦超声：范围界定综述。

背景：磁共振引导聚焦超声（MRgFUS）是一种非侵入性治疗技术，它利用聚焦超声波在脑内特定组织靶点产生热量。与传统手术干预相比，这项新兴技术具有精确性和潜在优势。本调查涉及范围综述，总结了各种研究的见解，这些研究探讨了 MRgFUS 治疗肌张力障碍的优势、局限性和相关结果：本范围界定综述采用《范围界定综述的系统综述和元分析扩展首选报告项目》（Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews，PRISMA-ScR）指南进行。提取了有关MRgFUS用于治疗不同类型肌张力障碍的现有数据：可用数据有限（n = 11）。在所调查的文献中，MRgFUS在肌张力障碍患者中一直显示出临床疗效。这是一种新兴的治疗方法，但也存在挑战：本次范围界定综述强调了 MRgFUS 在肌张力障碍治疗中的早期应用，但这一应用令人鼓舞。虽然数据有限，但现有研究一致显示了积极的临床效果。MRgFUS 的无创性和精确性使其成为进一步研究的一个前景广阔的途径，尽管其新兴地位还面临着挑战。本综述为未来的研究奠定了基础，强调了其作为肌张力障碍治疗的重要工具的潜力。

期刊介绍： Neurological Sciences is intended to provide a medium for the communication of results and ideas in the field of neuroscience. The journal welcomes contributions in both the basic and clinical aspects of the neurosciences. The official language of the journal is English. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications, editorials, reviews and letters to the editor. Original articles present the results of experimental or clinical studies in the neurosciences, while short communications are succinct reports permitting the rapid publication of novel results. Original contributions may be submitted for the special sections History of Neurology, Health Care and Neurological Digressions - a forum for cultural topics related to the neurosciences. The journal also publishes correspondence book reviews, meeting reports and announcements.
