Condition: Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Precise Intervention Technology and Application of Low Intensity Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS) on Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Brief Summary:
Based on the current background and our previous studies, TUS has been proved that rTUS intervention could induce long-term potentiation like (LTP-like) plasticity and neuromodulate the brain cortex in schizophrenia patients. rTUS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can alleviate the negative symptoms in schizophrenia. In this double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study, the efficacy of different treatment options and mechanisms of low-intensity rTUS on negative symptoms will be investigated.
