Summary
This early-stage trial tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) can safely improve motor symptoms in 24 adults with Huntington's disease. Participants receive ultrasound pulses to a brain region involved in movement control. The study focuses on safety and finding the best pulse frequency, while also measuring changes in movement scores.
