Ultrasound treatment study for schizophrenia voices
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new ultrasound treatment that targets brain areas involved in hearing voices. It may help reduce persistent auditory hallucinations in people with schizophrenia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 64 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of schizophrenia.

This study uses brain scans (MRI) and real-time feedback to help train the brain to reduce frequent, distressing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may try a structured neurofeedback program while researchers track changes in your symptoms.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive brain ultrasound test to look for patterns that might help identify people with schizophrenia. The results could lead to a new way to help diagnose the condition.
This trial tests whether real-time brain imaging “neurofeedback” can help people with schizophrenia who have ongoing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) that haven’t improved with medications. If you qualify, you may complete brain-scanning sessions where you practice changing brain activity while being monitored.
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 study tests whether focused ultrasound waves directed at the brain can help reduce schizophrenia symptoms. If it works, it could offer a new treatment option for people whose symptoms aren't fully controlled by medication alone.
This trial is testing whether a gentle ultrasound treatment (focused ultrasound) can help improve symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. It's for teens and young adults aged 13 to 25 with verbal communication skills.
