Ultrasound to reduce inflammation in healthy adults
This study tests how ultrasound can safely calm down inflammation signals in the body. It may help researchers find better ways to control inflammation without using standard anti-inflammatory medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged 25 to 50
- Can read/speak English well enough to follow instructions during the ultrasound
- In generally good health, with blood tests showing normal blood count and organ function
- Not taking certain inflammation or immune medicines for about 1 week before the ultrasound
- Able to avoid blood-thinning and anti-platelet drugs for about 1 week before the ultrasound
