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.

This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat anxiety that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can reduce anxiety symptoms.
Researchers are testing a new technology called transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) that uses sound waves to safely target brain areas. This study helps understand how tFUS affects the brain and may lead to new treatments for brain disorders.
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 study tests a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to target brain areas linked to pain and anxiety. It may help people with long-lasting pain or generalized anxiety disorder.
