Low intensity focused ultrasound for autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive ultrasound treatment can help teens and young adults with autism. You will have MRI scans and focused ultrasound sessions to see if it improves symptoms.

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 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.
This study tests a non-invasive focused ultrasound treatment for people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. The goal is to see if this gentle ultrasound can reduce seizures without surgery.
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 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 a non-invasive ultrasound treatment for Parkinson's disease. It aims to see if low intensity focused ultrasound can help improve symptoms without surgery.
