Summary
This trialexamines the effects of brain stimulation on muscle contractions to help improve addiction, pain and mental health. Participants have imaging scans and brain stimulation to temporarily affect activity. EMG records the muscle contractions.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking individuals willing to use a medication monitoring system. It's not suitable for those with pacemakers, metal implants, history of significant head injury or substance dependence, active CNS-affecting medical conditions, pregnancy, or claustrophobia.
What is being tested?
The study tests how different durations of Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) affect muscle contractions. Participants will undergo brain imaging and stimulation techniques while their muscle responses are recorded.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from the ultrasound device, temporary changes in brain activity that could influence mood or cognition, and possible skin irritation at the site of ultrasound application.
