The treatment characteristics include the target and side and the mean and maximum temperatures achieved during treatment. The subjective 3-month follow-up global symptom relief, as well as the pre- and post-FUS UPDRS scores shown here, are also displayed on Figure 4. The pre- and post-operative Mini Mental State Test (MMST) scores as well as Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scores (HADS) on the last four rows show no cognition losses and no emotional worsening for both groups of patients.
