Parkinson's Disease (PD) Treated With Focused Ultrasound Subthalamotomy at an Early Stage

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 30-65 years old. 2. Subjects who are able and willing to give consent and able to attend all study visits. 3. Diagnosis of PD according to UK (United Kingdom) Brain Bank Criteria as confirmed by movement disorder neurologist at our centre. 4. Less than 5 years since first PD diagnosis. 5. F-dopa PET (Positron Emission Tomography) pattern of striatal dopaminergic denervation suggestive of Parkinson's disease (rostro-caudal gradient). 6. Stable pharmacological regime for the 4-weeks prior to procedure. 7. Topographic coordinates of the subthalamic nucleus are localizable on MRI (Magentic Resonance Imaging) so that it can be targeted by the ExAblate device. 8. Able to communicate sensations during the ExAblate MRgFUS treatment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Hoehn and Yahr stage in the ON medication state of 2.5 or greater 2. Presence of severe dyskinesia as noted by a score of 3 or 4 on questions 4.1 and 4.2 of the MDS-UPDRS. 3. Presence of other central neurodegenerative disease suspected on neurological examination. These include: multisystem atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal syndrome, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Alzheimer's disease. 4. Any suspicion that Parkinsonian symptoms are a side effect from neuroleptic medications. 5. Subjects who have had deep brain stimulation or a prior stereotactic ablation of the basal ganglia 6. Presence of significant cognitive impairment defined as score ≤ 21 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) or Mattis Dementia Rating Scale of 120 or lower. 7. Patients without clinically relevant parkinsonism in the off-state as evaluated by two examining neurologists. (or MDS-UPDRS in the most affected side \<10). 8. Unstable psychiatric disease, defined as active uncontrolled depressive symptoms, psychosis, delusions, hallucinations, or suicidal ideation. Subjects with stable, chronic anxiety or depressive disorders may be included provided their medications have been stable for at least 60 days prior to study entry and if deemed appropriately managed by the site neuropsychologist 9. Subjects with significant depression as determined following a comprehensive assessment by a neuropsychologist. Significant depression is being defined quantitatively as a score of greater than 14 on the Beck Depression Inventory. 10. Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity as determined by the neuropsychologist 11. Subjects exhibiting any behavior(s) consistent with ethanol or substance abuse as defined by the criteria outlined in the DSM-IV as manifested by one (or more) of the following occurring within the preceding 12-month period: * Recurrent substance use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home (such as repeated absences or poor work performance related to substance use; substance-related absences, suspensions, or expulsions from school; or neglect of children or household). * Recurrent substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous (such as driving an automobile or operating a machine when impaired by substance use) * Recurrent substance-related legal problems (such as arrests for substance related disorderly conduct) * Continued substance use despite having persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused or exacerbated by the effects of the substance (for example, arguments with spouse about consequences of intoxication and physical fights). 12. Subjects with unstable cardiac status including: * Unstable angina pectoris on medication * Subjects with documented myocardial infarction within six months of protocol entry * Significant congestive heart failure defined with ejection fraction \< 40 * Subjects with unstable ventricular arrhythmias * Subjects with atrial arrhythmias that are not rate-controlled 13. Severe hypertension (diastolic BP \> 100 on medication). 14. History of or current medical condition resulting in abnormal bleeding and/or coagulopathy. 15. Receiving anticoagulant (e.g. warfarin) or antiplatelet (e.g. aspirin) therapy within one week of focused ultrasound procedure or drugs known to increase risk or hemorrhage (e.g. Avastin) within one month of focused ultrasound procedure 16. Subjects with risk factors for intraoperative or postoperative bleeding as indicated by: platelet count less than 100,000 per cubic millimeter, a documented clinical coagulopathy, or INR coagulation studies exceeding the institution's laboratory standard 17. Patient with severely impaired renal function with estimated glomerular filtration rate \<30mL/min/1.73m 2 (or per local standards should that be more restrictive) and/or who is on dialysis; 18. Subjects with standard contraindications for MR imaging such as non-MRI compatible implanted metallic devices including cardiac pacemakers, size limitations, etc. 19. Significant claustrophobia that cannot be managed with mild medication. 20. Subject who weight more than the upper weight limit of the MR table and who cannot fit into the MR scanner 21. Subjects who are not able or willing to tolerate the required prolonged stationary supine position during treatment. 22. History of intracranial hemorrhage 23. History of multiple strokes, or a stroke within past 6 months 24. Subjects with a history of seizures within the past year 25. Subjects with malignant brain tumors 26. Subjects with intracranial aneurysms requiring treatment or arterial venous malformations (AVMs) requiring treatment. 27. Any illness that in the investigator's opinion preclude participation in this study. 28. Subjects unable to communicate with the investigator and staff. 29. Pregnancy or lactation. 30. Subjects who have an Overall Skull Density Ratio lower than 0.42 as calculated from the screening CT.
