U.S., Sept. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07164105) titled 'LIFU Mechanisms for PTSD in Healthcare Workers' on Aug. 22.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) of the ventral anterior cingulate cortex (vACC) can normalize dysfunctional brain activation patterns and behaviors in frontline healthcare workers with post-traumatic stress disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does LIFU of the vACC effect activity and connectivity of the vACC and amygdala?
* Does LIFU of the vACC reduce post-traumatic stress symptoms? Researchers will compare LIFU to sham modulation to see if LIFU modulates activity of vACC-amy...
