Experimental Treatment

Group I: Parameter testingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In order to test parameters, each individual will be subjected to four interventions with the ultrasound device, one sham intervention and 3 interventions with varying intensity, frequency, and duty cycle.

Group II: Anatomical targetingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In order to test anatomical targeting, each individual will be subjected to four interventions with the ultrasound device, one sham intervention and 2 interventions, varying the anatomical targets.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this research endeavor include participants aged 30 or over?

"This clinical trial is seeking patients that fall between the ages of 22 and 65. Conversely, there are 50 studies targeting those under 18 while 372 different trials recruit individuals who have surpassed their 65th year."

Answered by AI

Are there any open slots available in this experiment for interested participants?

"Evidently, this research project is not presently accepting new patients. It was initially publicized on September 1st 2022 and subsequently updated two weeks later. Despite being closed for recruitment at the moment, there are 845 other trials that require participants now."

Answered by AI

Are there any prerequisites for enrolling in this experiment?

"Researchers are recruiting 20 capable participants, aged between 22 and 65 years old with no health conditions limiting their capacity to participate in the study. Furthermore, they must demonstrate a mastery of English language sufficient enough to understand instructions during the ultrasound session and take part in consenting procedures. In addition, all candidates should have stable medical histories free from significant past issues that could potentially pose extra risks, commit to attending visits within 8am - 12pm window every day and display comprehension of the project's objectives as well as full understanding when providing informed consent for participation."
