Bud Leavell, a 72-year-old man from Dallas, saw his severe tremors disappear within minutes of undergoing a newly approved ultrasound treatment. The procedure took place at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Leavell had dealt with significant shaking for years following his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease. According to reports, the most troubling aspect of his condition was resolved almost instantly after the intervention.
The specific details regarding how many other patients have received this treatment or the long-term outcomes remain unclear at this time.
UT Southwestern Medical Center employs about 25,641 people in Dallas, according to local government records.
