Safety, Parameterization, and Mechanism of Transcranial Focused Ultrasound
NCT05792020 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 25
Last updated 2026-05-22
Summary
Through the BrainBox Initiative, investigators propose to study the effects of motor tFUS on Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs) and GABA and Glutamate Concentrations in the Brain.
Conditions
- Healthy
Interventions
- DEVICE
-
Focused Ultrasound Stimulation
This aim will test whether motor tFUS parameters thought to be excitatory (50% duty cycle) vs. inhibitory (5% duty cycle) elicit their predicted effects on MEPs before and after each of three stimulation blocks, using 50 MEPs at each time point.
