Rebecca Crews Embraces New Parkinson's Treatment, Sees Symptom Reduction
Rebecca King Crews, diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's disease at age 49, has publicly shared her journey and the impact of a new treatment that has significantly reduced her symptoms. Crews, who is married to actor Terry Crews, has been dealing with the disease for over a decade. Recently, she underwent a focused ultrasound procedure, a non-invasive treatment that targets brain circuits responsible for motor symptoms like tremors and dyskinesia. This treatment uses concentrated ultrasound energy to destroy diseased tissues while preserving healthy ones. Crews reports a significant reduction in tremors on the right side of her body, allowing her to regain some normal functions such as writing and eating. She plans to undergo the procedure again to address symptoms on the left side of her body.
