Official title
A Sham-Controlled Pilot Trial of Focused Ultrasound Modulation of the Globus Pallidus Interna in Schizophrenia
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a single-site, phase 2, sham-controlled random-order cross-over pilot trial of PLIFUS targeting the right GPi in individuals with schizophrenia. Twelve individuals with schizophrenia who report continuous hallucinations or delusions of mild or greater severity will receive one session of PLIFUS and one session of sham PLIFUS in random order, one week apart. If no effect of PLIFUS is detected on measures of functional connectivity or psychotic symptoms in the first four completers, the trial will be changed to 3 sessions of PLIFUS or sham administered over 5 days.
