Low-intensity ultrasound for generalized anxiety disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-drug brain treatment using low-intensity focused ultrasound to reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It may help if your anxiety has been moderate to severe and you’ve already tried standard medications without enough relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 to 65 years old
- You have a primary diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) for more than 1 year, and it’s moderate to severe
- You’ve tried at least 2 SSRI antidepressants and 1 “add-on” treatment for anxiety but still didn’t get enough benefit
- You can safely complete MRI scans (no reason you can’t go into the MRI room)
- You can follow the treatment and visit schedule
- You’re not currently pregnant (and can’t plan to become pregnant soon)

This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive ultrasound treatment (LIFU) for people with either chronic pain or generalized anxiety. The goal is to see if this focused sound wave approach can help reduce symptoms without surgery or medication.
This trial tests a low-intensity focused ultrasound treatment aimed at reducing seizures caused by problems in one side of the hippocampus (a brain area involved in memory and seizures). It’s for people whose seizures have not responded to several seizure medicines and who have been offered a specific type of surgery.
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound can help people with anxiety disorders better manage their symptoms. It involves brain stimulation and recording sessions to see how the treatment works.
This study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound on the brain to see if it can help with mood and anxiety. It looks at different doses to find the most effective and safe level.
This trial tests a gentle ultrasound treatment (LIFUS) for people with various brain conditions like epilepsy, tumours, or movement disorders. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help where other treatments are being used.
This study tests whether a new non-invasive brain treatment called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) can help reduce PTSD symptoms in healthcare workers. It aims to find out how the treatment works and if it is safe and effective.
