OBJECTIVES: To compare outcomes in @entity158 relief and motor functional recovery in @entity1 with an @entity10545 treated by magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using a propensity score matching study design. METHODS: Thirty @entity1 with @entity10545 were included in this institutional review board (IRB)-approved study. MRgFUS was performed in 15 subjects. These subjects were matched by propensity analysis with a group of 15 subjects treated by RFA. @entity158 relief in terms of complete response (CR) and motor functional recovery were measured. RESULTS: A similar proportion of subjects treated by MRgFUS (94  %) or RFA (100  %) experienced CR 12  weeks after treatment, with no significant difference. The improvement in @entity158 control following MRgFUS or RFA paralleled with improved motor functional recovery. The treatment failure rate was 6.6  % in the MRgFUS group and 0  % in the RFA group. No major complications were observed following either ablative treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Although this study involved a limited number of @entity1 , MRgFUS favourably improves perceived @entity158 and motor functional recovery, with no major complications. No difference was found in the achievement of primary and secondary outcome measures with respect to RFA. KEY POINTS:     To demonstrate the effectiveness of a recent technique for treating @entity10545     MRgFUS results compared with results of the gold standard treatment (RFA)     MRgFUS is effective both from a clinical and functional point of view     No significant side effects compared with RFA.
