Factors Associated with Headache and Nausea During Magnetic Resonance–Guided Focused Ultrasound for Tremor

Abstract

Patients with lower skull density ratios and higher skull thicknesses could benefit from an aggressive analgesic prophylaxis. Women are more likely to experience nausea. Dexmedetomidine did not reduce headache and nausea, but increased the number and duration of sonications. Its exact effect on tremor is still unclear.
