Ultrasound helmet 'offers non-invasive way' to treat Parkinson's
The Guardian
|September 06, 2025
An ultrasound "helmet" offers potential new ways for treating neurological conditions without surgery or other invasive procedures, a study has shown.
The device can target brain regions 1,000 times smaller than ultrasound can and could replace existing approaches such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) in treating Parkinson's disease. It also holds potential for conditions such as depression, Tourette syndrome, chronic pain, Alzheimer's and addiction.
Unlike DBS, which requires a highly invasive procedure to implant electrodes deep in the brain and deliver electrical pulses, ultrasound sends mechanical pulses into the brain. But no approach had managed to deliver them precisely enough to make a meaningful impact until now.
