A groundbreaking treatment using CyberKnife radiosurgery has become available for Parkinson’s patients in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. This innovative procedure, performed by leading radiation oncologist Dr. Lohith Reddy, takes just 15 minutes and offers significant relief from debilitating tremors. A notable case involved a 78-year-old patient whose severe tremors were effectively treated, marking one of the first implementations of this method globally.

Since the start of 2025, Dr. Reddy has successfully treated 21 Parkinson’s patients, demonstrating remarkable results. Among them is M.C. Joseph, a senior chartered accountant from Kerala, who faced overwhelming tremors affecting his daily life. Despite using strong medication, Joseph’s condition had severely limited his ability to perform basic tasks such as walking and drinking water.

Dr. Reddy’s non-invasive approach, utilizing CyberKnife radiosurgery, stands in stark contrast to traditional surgical methods such as deep brain stimulation, which require more invasive procedures. This outpatient treatment employs highly focused radiation beams and advanced imaging technology to precisely target the brain area responsible for tremors, eliminating the need for incisions, anesthesia, or hospital stays.

“This is a paradigm shift in how we treat Parkinson’s tremors,” Dr. Reddy, who is also the Clinical Director of Radio Surgery and Clinical Director of ImmunoRad at HCG Hospitals in Bengaluru, stated, as reported by Khaleej Times. He highlighted that one of his patients experienced nearly an 80% reduction in tremors within just three days, greatly improving their quality of life after a single outpatient session.

The availability of this advanced treatment through international care pathways offers a practical and efficient option for patients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman seeking cutting-edge neurological care.

With over ten years of experience in CyberKnife technology, Dr. Reddy is noted for his innovative treatments for movement disorders and cancers at HCG Cancer Centers in Bangalore. His expertise is increasingly in demand among patients and healthcare institutions in the Middle East. He is also open to virtual consultations and welcomes partnerships with regional hospitals interested in providing this minimally invasive solution to their patients.
