Study Summary
This trial is testing whether focused ultrasound can be used to treat brain pathologies in a less invasive way than current methods.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with low grade gliomas who are already getting regular MRI scans. It's not for those with cognitive decline from mild to moderate dementia.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the use of focused ultrasound on the brain. The goal is to see if it can safely make the blood-brain barrier more permeable, potentially helping treat brain conditions less invasively.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a non-invasive technique, side effects may be minimal but could include discomfort at the site of ultrasound application or temporary headache.
