Safety and Feasibility of FUS Next Generation Dome Helmet (NGDH) to Perform Neuromodulation in Patients With Treatment Refractory Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

10 de julho de 2026 atualizado por: Dr. Nir Lipsman, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Assessment of Safety and Feasibility of FUS Next Generation Dome Helmet (NGDH) to Perform Neuromodulation in Patients With Treatment Refractory Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

This study evaluates the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of focused ultrasound (FUS) neuromodulation delivered using the Next Generation Dome Helmet (NGDH) in participants with treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Participants will undergo two study sessions, four weeks apart, involving active FUS neuromodulation targeting nodes of the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CTSC) circuit. Outcomes include adverse events, changes in OCD symptom severity, and quality of life.

Armas e Intervenções

Grupo de Participantes / Braço
Intervenção / Tratamento
Experimental: Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation
Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation: Participants will receive two sessions of Magnetic Resonance-guided focused ultrasound neuromodulation targeting regions within the cortical-striatal-thalamic circuit (CSTC) implicated in treatment-resistant depression. Treatments will be spaced four weeks apart. All participants will receive the same intervention and will be followed for 4 weeks post-treatment to evaluate clinical outcomes, adverse events, and depression symptoms.
Dispositivo: Capacete de cúpula da próxima geração (NGDH)
Os participantes receberão duas sessões de neuromodulação de ultrassom focada de ressonância magnética, espaçada com quatro semanas de intervalo, usando o dispositivo capacete da cúpula da próxima geração. Os tratamentos direcionarão regiões no circuito CSTC identificado por varreduras avançadas de ressonância magnética. Cada sessão incluirá avaliações de pré-tratamento, sonônicas precisas de estruturas cerebrais profundas, monitoramento de segurança em tempo real e imagens pós-tratamento.

Descrição da medida
Prazo
Safety and Feasibility of FUS Neuromodulation in Participants With Treatment-Refractory Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Prazo: Assessments will be conducted at the baseline visit; on the day of each of the two treatments; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Assessment of the frequency and severity of adverse events associated with focused ultrasound neuromodulation in patients with treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder. Adverse events, including procedure-related complications and neurological events, will be documented and assessed.
Assessments will be conducted at the baseline visit; on the day of each of the two treatments; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.

Descrição da medida
Prazo
Change in Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Severity Measured by the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS)
Prazo: Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Evaluate the effectiveness of FUS Neuromodulation in reducing obsessive-compulsive symptom severity using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). The Y-BOCS is a clinician-administered scale assessing the severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Total scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity (0-7 subclinical, 8-15 mild, 16-23 moderate, 24-31 severe, and 32-40 extreme).
Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Change in Quality of Life as Measured by the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q)
Prazo: Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Quality of life will be assessed using the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q). The Q-LES-Q is a self-report measure assessing quality of life across multiple domains. Total scores are typically transformed into a percentage of the maximum possible score, with higher percentages indicating greater life satisfaction and functioning. Change from baseline will be evaluated at each assessment time point.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Change in Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms as Measured by the Obsessive Compulsive Inventory (OCI)
Prazo: Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
The Obsessive Compulsive Inventory is a self-report measure used to assess obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. Change from baseline will be evaluated at each assessment time point.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Change in Anxiety Symptoms as Measured by the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)
Prazo: Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is a 21-item self-report scale assessing the severity of anxiety symptoms. Total scores range from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety severity (0-7 minimal, 8-15 mild, 16-25 moderate, and 26-63 severe anxiety). Change from baseline will be evaluated at each assessment time point.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Change in Anxiety Symptoms as Measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7)
Prazo: Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
The GAD-7 is a 7-item self-report questionnaire used to assess generalized anxiety symptoms. Total scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety severity. Scores of 5, 10, and 15 represent commonly used thresholds for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety, respectively. Change from baseline will be evaluated at each assessment time point.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Using Likert Scales (1-9)
Prazo: Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
A brief set of 1-9 Likert scales will be used to assess patient-reported symptoms and subjective experiences. Scores range from 1 to 9, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity or impact. Change from baseline will be evaluated at each assessment time point.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
Change in Depressive Symptoms as Measured by the 17-Item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17)
Prazo: Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
The HAMD-17 is a clinician-administered scale used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms. Total scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater depressive symptom severity. Change from baseline will be evaluated at each assessment time point.
Assessments will be conducted at baseline; 24 hours after each treatment; at 1 and 2 weeks after each treatment; and 4 weeks after the second treatment.
