  • Patent number: 12366583
    Abstract: A method of improving a neurodegenerative or cognitive disorder in a human patient suffering therefrom is provided by determining a target site of the human patient's brain that is affected by the neurodegenerative disorder or cognitive disorder and providing a therapy to the human patient. The therapy includes applying a low intensity focused ultrasound (LiFUS) sonication via an ultrasound delivery device to the target site based on an imaging parameter, a microbubble cavitation; an optical parameter, a bodily fluid parameter, or a physiological or anatomical parameter of the human patient's brain. A therapeutic agent is introduced to the target site before, after or during application of the LiFUS sonication.

  • Publication number: 20240412845
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing focused ultrasound treatment. A patient is screened to determine if focused ultrasound treatment is appropriate for the patient to treat a disorder. The patient is monitored to measure a plurality of wellness-related parameters for the patient and detect or predict an onset of symptoms associated with the disorder from the wellness-related parameters if focused ultrasound treatment has been determined to be appropriate. A personalized location for focused ultrasound treatment is determined for the patient according to at least one of the wellness-related parameters. At least one parameter associated with the focused ultrasound treatment is selected according to at least one of the wellness-related parameters. Focused ultrasound treatment is provided to the patient at the selected location using the selected at least one parameter.

The therapy includes applying a low intensity focused ultrasound (LiFUS) sonication via an ultrasound delivery device to the target site based on an imaging parameter, a microbubble cavitation; an optical parameter, a bodily fluid parameter, or a physiological or anatomical parameter of the human patient's brain. A therapeutic agent is introduced to the target site before, after or during application of the LiFUS sonication.

  • Publication number: 20210162216
    Abstract: Methods of improving addiction in a patient in need thereof are provided. Methods include using focused ultrasound, deep brain stimulation and/or transcranial magnetic stimulation and multi-dimensional monitoring of the patient to determine whether the focused ultrasound, deep brain stimulation, and/or transcranial magnetic stimulation improves the patient's addiction. Based on this determination, the focused ultrasound, deep brain stimulation, and/or transcranial magnetic stimulation can be adjusted to improve the patient's addiction.
