Summary

This study tested a new, non-invasive technique called Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Pulsation (LIFUP) to see if it can improve motor symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. 31 participants received the ultrasound while their brain activity was monitored with an MRI. The goal was to measure changes in movement, such as finger tapping and dexterity, right after the treatment.
