The Claim
Among the top 100 cited articles on MRgFUS, blood-brain barrier disruption is the most frequently studied application (36 articles), followed by movement disorders (25 articles), and the majority of human studies within this body of literature focus on essential tremor.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Scientists have written the most papers about using MRgFUS to open the brain’s protective barrier and to treat movement problems like tremors — and when they study it in people, they’re mostly looking at essential tremor.
