Personalized Ultrasonic Brain Stimulation for Depression (R61) (NCT06902298)
Personalized Ultrasonic Brain Stimulation for Depression: A Study of Target Engagement and Mood Effects
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will evaluate a new form of non-invasive brain stimulation for individuals with depression. Personalized low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation will be delivered using a range of stimulation parameters during psychological and physiological monitoring. Individualized optimal targets will be selected using structural MRI and diffusion tractography. Brain target engagement will be evaluated using functional MRI.
