Attune Neurosciences, INC. is conducting a research study in San Francisco, California to evaluate a non-surgical, non-drug wearable therapy using Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (LIFUS) of the deep brain to alleviate pain. For additional information, contact Shenali Warnakulasuriya

Purpose of the study:
This research study seeks to evaluate a non-surgical, non-drug wearable therapy using Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (LIFUS) of the deep brain to alleviate pain. Conducting this research study will enable further development of a novel wearable device, to allow in-clinic or at-home use for pain reduction. This technology is already being used in multiple studies for other conditions. LIFUS is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation that uses sound waves (the same form of energy used in fetal ultrasound imaging during pregnancy) to target and alter activity in areas of the deep brain. As FUS is highly precise, it can accomplish this task without impacting the surrounding brain tissue.
Inclusion Criteria:
- This study may be an option if you are:
- Experiencing chronic pain (persisting for at least 3 months)
- 22 to 80 years old
- Able to undergo a brain MRI
- Able to visit trial location in San Francisco
Study schedule:
The study takes place at our office in Mission Bay (San Francisco, CA). The study consists of 4 required visits and some optional visits. Each visit will take less than 2 hours and be completed at least a week apart. This study does not require that you stop any medication you are currently taking. We encourage you to maintain any pain medication regimen you may have. Participants will be compensated $50 per visit. We are very flexible with scheduling and can schedule visits for weekends and outside of work hours.
