Anxiety Clinical Trial - LIFU for Anxiety Management

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is examining the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on anxiety. Low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) will be utilized to neuromodulate the brain prior to a task (NPU). Physiological recordings will be taken throughout (EEG, EMG, HR, BP, RR, GSR).

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a research project examining the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on anxiety. This study will help us to better understand possible treatments for patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Participants will undergo a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a computed tomography (CT) scan, to image the bone and brain tissue. Participants will receive noninvasive brain stimulation using low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) sound waves, to temporarily change brain activity. Participants will undergo a threat task involving brief (100ms) shocks (1-5mA) and startle noises. Brain signals (EEG), muscle twitch (EMG), heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, respiration rate, and skin moisture will be monitored throughout. Participants will be asked to complete behavioral questionnaires. ;
