Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate a new form of non-invasive deep brain therapy for food addiction. Low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation will first be delivered using a range of stimulation parameters during psychophysical and physiological monitoring. A well-tolerated stimulation protocol will be selected for subsequent testing in a blinded randomized sham-controlled trial. The trial will evaluate brain target engagement using magnetic resonance imaging, Food Cravings Questionnaire-State, and changes in subject's weight over the course of the study.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in body weight (%) from baseline week 0 to week 16 The body weight will be quantified with respect to baseline (100%), taken prior to the first intervention. The body weight will be taken prior to each intervention (once per week)
Primary Number of participants who achieved body weight reduction >= 5% Proportion of subjects who have lost at least 5% of their weight at week 16 relative to the baseline week 0. Assessment at week 16
Primary Food Cravings Questionnaire-State This 15-item questionnaire measures immediate level of food craving, each item ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Higher total scores indicate stronger desire to eat. During and immediately after each weekly intervention
Primary Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, 17 item This 17-item questionnaire measures the severity of depression. Scores range between 0 (least severe) to 52 (most severe). For up to 16 weeks
