Noninvasive Ultrasound Lab

We aim to study Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) as an emerging form of noninvasive neuromodulation under the tutelage of Dr. Wynn Legon.

🔊 From imaging to sonar, sound has long been a powerful tool. Now, scientists are using ultrasound to tackle #pain, #addiction, and even #cancer.

Wynn Legon shares why the world is finally paying attention.

“Noninvasive neuromodulation of subregions of the human insula differentially affect pain processing and heart-rate variability: a within-subjects pseudo-randomized trial” by @WynnLegonLab is available #OpenAccess in the July issue of #PAIN https://t.co/FtlDhO0KU6

[PAIN Journal @PAINthejournal]

@WynnLegonLab find that noninvasive modulation of insula subregions affects pain ratings, brain physiology related to pain, and metrics of autonomic/cardiovascular activity including heart-rate variability. Learn more in #PAIN https://t.co/FtlDhO0KU6

Virginia Tech takes a leap forward in medical innovation! 🚀 Honored to be designated as a Center of Excellence by @fusfoundation, recognizing our leading role in advancing non-invasive medical treatments. #FocusedUltrasound #Innovation https://t.co/3FfNGfSCJa

[Focused Ultrasound Foundation @FUSFoundation]

Results from two clinical trials investigating low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for the treatment of pain have been published. In both trials, the teams from @WynnLegonLab at @FralinBiomed showed that LIFU could be an effective method for noninvasive neuromodulation of pain. https://t.co/U9FqOgMG9G
