LIFU for Chronic Pain and Generalized Anxiety Disorder

This study is exploring psychotherapy or therapy for people with anxiety. 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.

This appears to be a behavioral / psychological / psychosocial study involving Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound. Phase is mainly useful to check for medication studies and some device studies.

This study may concern people with anxiety; age range: From 18 Years to 65 Years. The criteria appear fairly broad, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

You may take part in sessions or exercises related to habits, thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

Behavioral studies can involve habits, emotions, motivation, stress, sleep, or ways of thinking. Ask whether the intervention could affect your mood or stress, and who to contact if you feel worse. 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.

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.

This study is sponsored by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, which appears to be a university. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.

The public registry lists this study as not yet recruiting. Check the official record and ask the research team when recruitment may open.
