U.S., April 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06906211) titled 'Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Chronic Pain: High Resolution Targeting of the Human Insula' on Feb. 13.
Brief Summary: In this study, the research team will use low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to temporarily change brain activity in a brain region that is known to be involved in chronic pain. Through this, the research team hopes to learn about how the brain area works in response to pain. There are main questions this study aims to answer:
* The effect of LIFU to inhibit the posterior region of the insula (PI) compared to sham stimulation in individuals with chronic back pain (CBP) and widespread pain symptoms.
* Th...
