Dr. Daniel Jeanmonod, a renowned functional neurosurgeon, joins us upon his retirement to reflect on his pioneering career. Since 1989, Dr. Jeanmonod has been at the forefront of focused ultrasound research and treatment for neuropathic pain, Parkinson's disease, and essential tremor. He recounts his groundbreaking achievement in using noninvasive focused ultrasound to treat patients at the University Children's Hospital of Zurich. He also discusses the establishment of the SoniModul Center of Ultrasound Functional Neurosurgery in Zurich and the center's impressive track record over its 14-year history. Dr. Jeanmonod shares fascinating patient stories that highlight the profound impact of focused ultrasound treatments on individuals suffering from chronic, therapy-resistant neuropathic pain. He also emphasizes the importance of considering the psycho-emotional aspects of pain management and the role of psychotherapy in optimizing treatment outcomes. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Jeanmonod offers valuable advice for young neurosurgeons interested in using focused ultrasound in functional neurosurgery. He stresses the significance of understanding the underlying mechanisms of brain disorders.
