VIM-FUS appeared safe and effective for heterogenous tremor etiologies, and VO-FUS appeared most effective for isolated segmental dystonia. STN-FUS was effective for PD symptom reduction; postoperative dystonia and mild on-medication dyskinesias required medical management. Tractography-based targeting with CTT-FUS for ET and PTT-FUS for PD demonstrated promising early results. Larger prospective trials with long-term follow-up are needed to the evaluate the safety and efficacy non-FDA approved indications for FUS.
