What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study evaluates an ultrasound device designed to reduce pain by targeting peripheral nerves without surgery or medication. The device is placed on the skin over the area of pain and delivers controlled ultrasound stimulation.

Adults with nerve-related pain will participate in a single study visit that includes stimulation sessions and pain assessments.

The goal of this study is to determine whether non-invasive ultrasound can safely and effectively reduce pain and to assess whether this approach is practical for future clinical use.
