Race Against Dementia launch clinical trial using ultrasound to improve Lewy body dementia symptoms
Race Against Dementia, alongside the University of Oxford and the UK Focused Ultrasound Foundation, has launched a clinical trial as part of their study into whether ultrasound waves could help treat symptoms of Lewy body dementia and potentially improve cognitive functioning in people with Lewy body dementia.
Dr Ashwini Oswal, who is leading the trial, says:
“Our research aims to test whether a new, non-invasive way of stimulating the brain can improve symptoms and quality of life for people living with Lewy body dementia. This is a devastating condition for which there is currently no effective treatment. If successful, our approach could lead to a new therapeutic option for Lewy body dementia and may also inform the treatment of other forms of dementia.” Read more here: https://www.raceagainstdementia.com/news/world-first-clinical-trial-exploring-focused-ultrasound-treatment-for-lewy-body-dementia-launched-in-the-uk
