Focused ultrasound to help manage anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old
- You have an anxiety disorder (like generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, or a specific phobia), PTSD, OCD, or an adjustment disorder with anxiety
- You are currently seeking mental health treatment
- You can read and understand English well enough to give consent
- You are not pregnant, do not have metal in your body, and have no condition that would make MRI unsafe

This study tests if a specific type of magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce anxiety for people who haven't gotten enough relief from other treatments. You would receive daily TMS sessions over several weeks, and the team will track your anxiety symptoms closely.
This study uses a special kind of ultrasound and MRI scans to check safety and see how the brain responds. It may help researchers understand the possible mechanism of this treatment, but it is designed for people who are healthy and can complete the full visit schedule.
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 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.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive ultrasound treatment, called transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS), can improve movement and thinking in people with Parkinson's disease. It may be an option for those whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication alone.
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.
