The Medical Center
A point of attraction for medical tourists, our clinic is aiming at managing involuntary trembling of the the limbs and head in essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease.
V. S. Buzaev Memorial International Medical Centre® is the first medical center in Russia for MRI-guided focused ultrasound treatment (MRgFUS). At the medical center, the technology of non-invasive neurosurgery with focused ultrasound is constantly developing: for the first time in the world, bilateral simultaneous elimination of essential tremor in both hands has been performed. For the first time in Russia, a hypothalamic hamartoma has been eliminated, and patients with Parkinson’s disease and dystonia are successfully operated on on a regular basis.
V.S. Buzaev Clinic is the first medical center in Russia that offers neurosurgical interventions using MRI-guided focused ultrasound.

Who can we help?
From November 2020 we can help patients with more than just tremor. We have expanded our portfolio of indications for surgery with focused ultrasound in patients with Parkinson’s disease:
- Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease.
- Tremor difficult to control with proper drug therapy.
- “Off” periods.
- Dyskinesia.
- Levodopa-induced dystonia.
- A difference of 30% or more in MDS-UPDRS scores between on and off periods.
- Pain syndrome in the arms or legs.
With these inclusion parameters we can provide assistance to patients even at stage 4 of the disease (Hoehn, Yahr, 1967).
To determine indications for focused ultrasound therapy, we provide online consultations. To make an appointment, send us an e-mail request to info@imcb.ru
