Scientists zap brains with sound to map pain signals

NCT ID NCT06343883

Summary

This study aims to understand how different pressures of low-intensity focused ultrasound affect brain activity related to pain sensations. Researchers will apply mild electrical stimulation to create a pain-like signal, then use ultrasound while measuring brain responses with EEG and fMRI scans in healthy volunteers. The primary goal is to gather basic safety data and observe how the brain processes these signals, not to treat pain.
