Sound waves aim to stop stubborn seizures in ICU patients

This study tests a non-invasive technique called pulsed low-intensity focused ultrasound (PLIFU) to reduce seizure activity in people with a severe, ongoing seizure condition called status epilepticus that hasn't improved with standard medications. Ten participants in the ICU will receive a 10-minute ultrasound session targeting brain areas involved in seizures. The goal is to see if this approach can safely and quickly calm abnormal brain activity.
