INFLAMMATION: IT’S THE BODY’S natural response to injury and infection, but medical science now recognizes it as a double-edged sword. When inflammation becomes chronic, it can contribute to a host of serious health problems, including arthritis, heart disease, and certain cancers. As this understanding has grown, so too has the search for effective ways to manage harmful inflammation.
Doctors and researchers are exploring various approaches to tackle this pervasive health issue, from new medications to dietary interventions. But what if one of the most promising treatments relies on a familiar technology that’s been in hospitals for decades?
Enter focused ultrasound stimulation (FUS), a technique that uses sound waves to reduce inflammation in targeted areas of the body. It’s a surprising new application for ultrasound technology, which most people associate with prenatal checkups or diagnostic imaging. And FUS may help with many other disorders too, including diabetes and obesity. By modifying existing ultrasound technology, we might be able to offer a novel approach to some of today’s most pressing health challenges.

Similar use cases as PEMF, but perhaps more effective.
I very much appreciate the explanation of how they expect it works.
Can one get one of these devices?
Any idea where one could get them?
Any idea how much they might cost?
But I wouldn’t do anything with focused ultrasound around the head as a guinea pig. I use focused ultrasound for skin rejuvenation and it works. But it works by creating inflammation and stimulating repair as part of the inflammatory response. The settings would have to be very specific if the opposite mechanism is triggered somehow. I don’t think this is ready for prime time. Also most of the data was in vitro and the brain is an incredibly complex mechanism.
Thanks for this.
I don’t have a personal interest in using this on my brain. My immediate interest goes to other inflammatory conditions including injuries, recovery, arthritis in my right knee, psoriasis, …
That said, my wife has REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), which manifests as night terrors, shouting, and violent thrashing during sleep, often early warning signs of Parkinson’s disease and other synucleinopathies (the group of neurodegenerative disorders that includes Parkinson’s, Lewy body dementia, and multiple system atrophy), so good to have awareness of potentially useful measures.
For musculoskeletal inflammatory conditions, regular physiological ultrasound can be very helpful at around 1-10 MHz. Local dynamic micro massage is even better. For me personally nothing beats the effects of TECAR. I’ve had a chronically sprained / inflamed ankle and much as PEMF helped, nothing but TECAR actually healed it. The last few months I’ve had a long standing issue with my wrist. Probably just carpel tunnel but I did my usual which is to ignore something until it gets really bad. PEMF helped as did ultrasound. But it would eventually return to baseline. TECAR has actually healed it. I’ve only got a tiny bit of residual soreness and I need to do more sessions to fully resolve it. Couldn’t recommend it more highly and you can buy the machine for roughly $300. No consumables except ultrasound gel or RF conducting cream.
guys, please, there is no more space for ultrasound speakers in my red light, electromagnetic field stimulation cold shock binaural sound sauna sensory isolation chamber pod, not after the hypoxia low high pressure CO admixture upgrade last week. just put it all into a pill already!
