Ultrasound Treatment for Huntington's Disease Movement Symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new focused ultrasound technique aimed at reducing involuntary movements (chorea) in people with Huntington's disease. The treatment targets a specific brain region and may help improve movement control and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have been genetically confirmed to have Huntington's disease with a CAG repeat of 40 or higher
- You have moderate to severe involuntary movements (chorea) that impact daily function
- You have a reliable family member or caregiver who can support you during the trial
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems that would make it hard to report side effects
- You have no metallic implants (like pacemakers or cochlear implants) in your body

This trial tests whether a non-invasive magnetic device (placed on the head) can help reduce involuntary movements (chorea) in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to see if this gentle stimulation can improve movement control.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation device (tDCS) used at home can help improve thinking and behavior in people with Huntington's disease. A caregiver is needed to be present during treatment and help with questionnaires.
This trial tests an at-home, noninvasive brain stimulation treatment to help with behavioral and cognitive (thinking) symptoms in people with Huntington’s disease. You and a caregiver work together during sessions and questionnaires to see if symptoms improve and stay stable.
This study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to stimulate a deep brain area and reduce hand tremors. It is for people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonic tremor whose medications don't work well enough.
This study tests a new, non-surgical treatment using low-intensity focused ultrasound to target areas in the brain affected by Parkinson's disease. The goal is to see if it can safely improve symptoms without the need for implants or surgery.
This study tests a non-invasive ultrasound treatment that gently stimulates a small part of the brain to see if it can improve Parkinson's symptoms like movement and stiffness. It may be an option for people who have not had brain surgery yet.
