Precise Intervention Technology and Application of Low Intensity TUS on Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia

Sponsor: Shanghai Mental Health Center

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Based on the current background and our previous studies, TUS has been proved that rTUS intervention could induce long-term potentiation like (LTP-like) plasticity and neuromodulate the brain cortex in schizophrenia patients. rTUS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can alleviate the negative symptoms in schizophrenia. In this double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study, the efficacy of different treatment options and mechanisms of low-intensity rTUS on negative symptoms will be investigated.
