Sound waves probe pain pathways in small brain study

NCT ID NCT06343883

First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study looks at how low-intensity focused ultrasound (a gentle sound wave) changes the way the brain processes pain. Researchers will use EEG and fMRI to measure brain activity before and after the ultrasound in 25 adults with somatic pain. The goal is to understand the relationship between ultrasound pressure and pain-related brain signals, not to treat the pain itself.
