Checking how long low-intensity ultrasound lasts
This study looks at how long a low-intensity focused ultrasound treatment effect lasts. It may help researchers plan safer, more effective use of this technology in future studies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can read, understand, and speak English well enough to follow study instructions
- You do not have a reason you cannot safely have MRI, CT, or TMS scans/treatment (like severe claustrophobia)
- You do not have certain implants or metal in or near your body (for example pacemakers, aneurysm clips, neurostimulators, cochlear implants, or metal in the eyes)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have current serious health problems or medicines that could affect the brain or nervous system
- You have no history of neurologic (brain/nerve) disorders, significant head injury with loss of consciousness over 10 minutes, or past alcohol/drug dependence

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a noninvasive treatment called low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to help relieve chronic pain. It may be an option if you have had moderate to severe pain for at least 3 months.
This study tests how low-power focused ultrasound changes brain signals measured during MRI. You may help researchers understand how ultrasound can affect brain activity, even if you don’t have a known brain condition.
This study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to see how it affects memory. It may help researchers understand how to improve memory or treat conditions that affect it.
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 ultrasound approach while measuring how your nervous system and body respond automatically (like changes in heart rate or stress signals). It may help researchers learn how to stimulate or monitor these responses safely, using imaging and standard monitoring.
This trial uses low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) and brain scans to see how it affects thinking. It may help researchers find new ways to treat brain conditions.
