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

Focused ultrasound is a noninvasive, therapeutic technology with the potential to improve the quality of life and decrease the cost of care for patients with chyluria. This novel technology focuses beams of ultrasonic 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 precise ablation (thermal destruction of tissue) enabling the aberrant lymphatic urinary tract connections to be treated without surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages<\/strong>
The primary options for treatment of chyluria include embolization or invasive surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For certain patients, focused ultrasound could provide a noninvasive alternative to surgery with less risk of complications \u2013 such as surgical wound healing or infection \u2013 at a lower cost. It can reach the desired target without damaging surrounding tissue and is repeatable, 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 treatments for chyluria.<\/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>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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