LIFUS For Neurological Disorders

Join our study on LIFUS for brain health improvement.

Recruiting
18-85 years
All
Phase N/A

Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFUS) is a way to gently stimulate the brain without surgery. Scientists are studying how LIFUS might help people with brain problems, like those causing trouble with movement. LIFUS can make the brain's neurons, which are like tiny messengers in our heads, less excitable. This study wants to see if LIFUS can help people with movement disorders by calming their brain cells.

People who can join: Adults aged 18 to 85 with brain or mental health conditions. This includes those having medical or surgical treatments. But, those who've had a stroke, have dementia, or have certain metal implants can't join. Also, pregnant women and those with major illnesses or psychiatric conditions that might affect the study can't participate.

  • This study is non-invasive, meaning no surgery is involved.
  • Participants need to be between 18-85 years old.
  • Those with certain health conditions or metal implants cannot join.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
