NCT ID NCT07161518
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether focused ultrasound to the brain can change how the anesthetic propofol works. Ten healthy adults will receive both real and fake ultrasound while under sedation. Researchers will measure brain signals and response times to see if ultrasound alters anesthesia effects. The goal is to understand the interaction, not to treat any disease.
