This study is enrolling by invitation. It focuses on mental health and currently lists participation information in Taiwan.
Key information made simple
This study is looking at whether magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery, MRgFUS can help people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Participants take part in magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery, MRgFUS and complete follow-up assessments. Taking part may give some people access to magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery, MRgFUS, but direct benefit is not guaranteed.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei. Participation appears to involve assessments along with scans or samples to help researchers understand patterns more clearly. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis and being able to follow the planned visits or tasks, while common reasons not to take part include major medical issues that could make participation unsuitable and safety concerns that need urgent care first. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.

Questions about this study
What is this study trying to understand?
This study is exploring observational follow-up for people with mental health. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.
Why is the study type not clearly categorized?
The study type is not clearly categorized in the public registry. Focus on the objective, required tasks, visits, any intervention, and eligibility criteria, then ask the study team to confirm.
Who might this study be for?
This study may concern people with mental health; age range: From 18 Years to 65 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.
What would I likely need to do?
The public registry does not clearly describe all participation steps. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.
What risks or points should I check?
The public registry does not make the main risk category clear. Ask the study team what activities are required, what could feel uncomfortable, how safety is monitored, and what happens if you want to stop. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.
Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?
The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.
