Focused Ultrasound for PTSD in Veterans
NCT06820138
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
The goal of this study is to develop a new, non-invasive brain stimulation modality called low intensity focused ultrasound (FUS) as a psychiatric rehabilitation treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). FUS delivers energy comparable to that involved in diagnostic ultrasound but in a millimeter-sized envelope. Unlike currently available methods, the maximal FUS energy is delivered at a distance from a transducer on the scalp. Therefore, its promise is that it can deliver focal and reversible modulation to deeper brain regions involved in PTSD.
