NCT ID NCT06232629

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study explores whether low-intensity ultrasound can safely and effectively stimulate deep brain areas in people with Parkinson's disease or dystonia. Ten adults who already have implanted deep brain stimulation (DBS) leads will receive ultrasound pulses while researchers record brain activity. The goal is to understand how ultrasound affects brain signals, not to treat the disease directly.
