Ultrasound Therapy Shows Promise in Reducing Schizophrenia Delusions

• A 10-minute transcranial ultrasound session led to a modest but significant drop in delusion scores among people with schizophrenia.
• The trial involved delivering ultrasound waves through the skull and into the brain to target specific brain regions.
• The study was a sham-controlled pilot trial, indicating preliminary but promising results.
• The ultrasound therapy aims to change the activity in targeted brain regions to help counter delusions in schizophrenia.
• The findings suggest potential for ultrasound as a non-invasive treatment option for schizophrenia.
