validated as a viable alternative, particularly for patients ineligible for implants. Cesarano et al.further support MRgFUS's potential through a systematic review of staged bilateral treatments in both ET and PD, demonstrating encouraging safety and efficacy profiles. Finally, Rinaldo et al. outlie a structured diagnostic-therapeutic pathway (DTP) for integrating MRgFUS into clinical workflows. Their experience with over 600 cases offers a practical and scalable model for institutions aiming to adopt or expand MRgFUS programs. In conclusion, MRgFUS is maturing into a safe, effective, and patient-centered modality for the treatment of movement disorders. The contributions in this Research Topic highlight both technological progress and humanistic insight, reaffirming the growing role of MRgFUS in modern functional neurosurgery.
