Application of transcranial brain stimulation in dementia
Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2023 The number of patients with dementia grows rapidly as the global population ages, which posits tremendous health-care burden to the society. Only cholinesterase inhibitors and a N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist have been approved for treating ...

Noninvasive Low-Frequency Pulsed Focused Ultrasound Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis in Mice
Research, 2022 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease characterized by chronic and progressive inflammation of the synovium. Focused ultrasound therapy is an increasingly attractive alternative for treating RA owing to its noninvasiveness; however, it

Safety Review and Perspectives of Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Brain Stimulation
Brain & Neurorehabilitation, 2021 Ultrasound is an important theragnostic modality in modern medicine. Technical advancement of both acoustic focusing and transcranial delivery have enabled administration of ultrasound waves to localized brain areas with few millimeters of spatial specificity and penetration depth sufficient to reach the thalamus. Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS)

Ultrasound Neuromodulation as a New Brain Therapy
Advanced Science, 2023 Within the last decade, ultrasound has been “rediscovered” as a technique for brain therapies. Modern technologies allow focusing ultrasound through the human skull for highly focal tissue ablation, clinical neuromodulatory brain stimulation, and ...

Neuropathic Tissue Responds Preferentially to Stimulation by Intense Focused Ultrasound [PDF]
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2013 We tested the hypothesis that neuropathic tissue is more sensitive to stimulation by intense focused ultrasound (iFU) than control tissue. We created a diffusely neuropathic paw in rats via partial ligation of the sciatic nerve, whose sensitivity to iFU stimulation we compared with sham-surgery and normal control paws.

Noninvasive Transcranial Stimulation of Rat Abducens Nerve by Focused Ultrasound [PDF]
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2012 Nonpharmacologic and nonsurgical transcranial modulation of the nerve function may provide new opportunities in evaluation and treatment of cranial nerve diseases. This study investigates the possibility of using low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) to selectively stimulate the rat abducens nerve located above the base of the skull. FUS (
