Focused Ultrasound Therapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Focused ultrasound is a therapeutic technology that could transform the quality of life and decrease the cost of care for patients with Morbihan disease (a rare condition characterized by chronic erythematous edema localized on the face, which may be associated with underlying rosacea). This novel technology focuses beams of ultrasound energy precisely and accurately on targets deep in the body without damaging surrounding normal tissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it Works<\/strong>
Where the beams converge, focused ultrasound produces mild hyperthermia, which is believed to improve lymph drainage. In a case report (below), there was improvement in the patient after focused ultrasound treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary options for treatment of Morbihan disease are very limited. The use of focused ultrasound may be another option which can improve the lives of patients with Morbihan disease.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For certain patients, focused ultrasound could provide a noninvasive more effective treatment compared to conventional therapy. While significant work has been accomplished, there is still much to be done before this technology will be widely available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages<\/strong>
For certain patients, focused ultrasound could provide a noninvasive alternative to surgery with less risk of complications \u2013 such as like surgical wound healing or infection \u2013 at a lower cost. Focused ultrasound can reach the desired target without damaging surrounding tissue, and it can be repeated, if necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinical Trials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the present time, there are no clinical trials recruiting patients for focused ultrasound treatment of Morbihan disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Foundation updates these pages regularly, but with the increasing number of clinical trials, we want to be sure that our audience has the latest information available. Therefore, we also added the website search information for the above trials. If you click here<\/strong><\/a>, it will take you to the latest information available from https:\/\/www.clinicaltrials.gov\/<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulatory Approval and Reimbursement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Focused ultrasound treatment for Morbihan disease is not yet approved by regulatory bodies or covered by medical insurance companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
