Musculoskeletal
Focused ultrasound can be used to treat several painful musculoskeletal conditions.
The technology is approved in Europe and the US to relieve the pain in patients with bone metastases. It is also currently approved in Europe to reduce the pain associated with back pain originating from facet arthritis by noninvasively destroying the nerves of the affected facet joint. In addition, focused ultrasound is approved to heat and destroy small benign bone tumors in children and adults, such as osteoid osteoma.
In addition, groups around the world are evaluating the potential of focused ultrasound to alleviate osteoarthritic pain of the knee.
