Safety of a helmet device using ultrasound for substance use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a special helmet that uses focused ultrasound to stimulate parts of the brain involved in addiction. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works for people with moderate to severe substance use disorder who have not gotten enough help from standard medication treatments.
