TS is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by motor and vocal tics that often resist standard pharmacological or behavioral treatments. Current neuromodulation options like Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) are invasive, while non-invasive methods like TMS lack the precision to reach deep brain structures.\n\nThe study aims to:\n\n1. Evaluate tolerability: Assess TUS safety in older adolescents and adults with TS.\n2. Test efficacy: Compare TUS at the intralaminar thalamic nuclei (CM\u002FPf\u002FVoi) and the supplementary motor area (SMA) against a sham treatment to see if it reduces tic frequency and severity.\n3. Optimize protocols: Determine if dual-target or multiple-session stimulation is more effective than single-target or single-session protocols.\n\nTUS uses low energy, pulsed, focused ultrasound to induce transient neuromodulatory responses lasting up to 60 minutes. TUS can precisely target deep structures like the thalamus.\n\nStudy Methods\n\n* Design: A phase 1, double-blind, crossover trial.\n* Participants: 20 individuals (ages 16+) with a diagnosis of TS and significant tic severity (YGTSS score \\> 22 or sub-score \\> 15).\n* Procedure: Participants receive four different modalities over four separate weeks, with 7-day washouts:\n\n  * TUS of the CM\u002FPf\u002FVoi only.\n  * TUS of the SMA only.\n  * Combined TUS of both targets.\n  * Sham TUS.\n* Evaluation: The primary endpoint is the percent change on the Rush Video-Based Tic Rating Scale (RVBTRS). Secondary measures include the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and the Premonitory Urges for Tics Scale (PUTS).\n\nBecause TUS requires extreme precision to hit deep brain targets, every participant undergoes a comprehensive imaging protocol using a 3T GE UHP scanner.\n\n* Mapping the Targets: We use Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and Tractography to locate the specific \"wiring\" of the individual's brain. This allows to find:\n\n  * The CM\u002FPf\u002FVoi (Centromedian-parafascicular complex) in the thalamus.\n  * The SMA (Supplementary Motor Area) in the cortex.\n* Precision Imaging: High-resolution 1 mm-isotropic T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and Zero Echo Time (ZTE) images are used. ZTE is particularly important as it helps the BabelBrain software account for the thickness and density of the skull, which can deflect ultrasound waves.\n* Real-Time Tracking: During the actual stimulation, the team uses a Brainsight neuro-navigation system. This acts like a GPS, using the patient's MRI \"map\" to ensure the ultrasound transducer is perfectly aligned with the target.\n\nInnovation This is the first human study to apply TUS to TS patients. By targeting both deep and cortical regions independently or simultaneously, the researchers aim to modulate the \"network-level\" connectivity implicated in tic generation.\n\nTechnical Ultrasound Parameters The study uses a custom 128-element phased-array transducer (Sonic Concepts H317) to deliver TUS.\n\n* Core Settings:\n\n  * Frequency: 250 kHz.\n  * Intensity: spatial-peak pulse-average intensity (ISPPA) of 10 W\u002Fcm2\n* Targeting \\& Safety:\n\n  * BabelBrain Software: Calculates real-time acoustic simulations to correct for bone aberrations and ensure the Mechanical Index (MI) stays below 1.9 and thermal rise remains under 2°C.\n  * Electronic Steering: Allows the focal spot to be moved without physically repositioning the device, enabling coverage of large areas like the SMA or deep structures like the CM\u002FPf\u002FVoi complex.\n* Biological Protocols:\n\n  * Inhibitory: pulse repetition frequency (PRF), 10% duty cycle, lasting 120 seconds.\n  * Excitatory: \"theta burst\" PRF, 10% duty cycle, lasting 80 seconds. Clinical Assessment Criteria\n\nThe trial employs three main scales to capture both objective tic data and subjective patient experiences:\n\n1. Rush Video-Based Tic Rating Scale (RVBTRS):\n\n   * The Primary Measure: This is the only validated tool that provides an objective assessment by analyzing 10-minute video recordings.\n   * Method: Two blinded evaluators count tics and rate their severity across two views: a close-up (head\u002Fshoulders) and a full-body frontal view.\n   * Focus: It specifically measures the patient's ability to actively inhibit tics during the recording.\n2. Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS):\n\n   * The Gold Standard: A clinician-rated interview that assesses symptoms over the prior 7-10 days.\n   * Scoring: It rates motor and phonic tics separately on five dimensions: number, frequency, intensity, complexity, and interference.\n   * Baseline Requirement: To participate in the trial, patients must have a total tic severity score of at least 22 (or a sub-score of 15).\n3. Premonitory Urges for Tics Scale (PUTS):\n\n   * Self-Report: A 9-item questionnaire where patients rate the intensity of pre-tic sensations (like pressure, itchiness, or tension) on a scale of 1 to 4.\n   * Interpretation: Scores range from 9 to 36; higher scores reflect more distressing urges.",[27],"Tourette Syndrome","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-07-09",{"date":31,"type":32},"2026-07-13","ACTUAL",{"date":34,"type":21},"2026-08-01",{"date":36,"type":21},"2028-06-01",{"name":38,"class":39},"University of Calgary","OTHER",{"id":41,"slug":42,"hasResults":12,"nctId":43,"briefTitle":44,"officialTitle":45,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":46,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":47,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":48,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":50,"briefSummary":52,"conditions":53,"keywords":55,"overallStatus":28,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":58,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":59,"startDateStruct":61,"completionDateStruct":63,"leadSponsor":65,"locationsCount":66},"100630447","feasibility-of-imaging-breast-implants-with-a-transmission-based-microwave-scanner-100630447","NCT07487792","Feasibility of Imaging Breast Implants With a Transmission-based Microwave Scanner","Feasibility of Imaging Breast Implants With a Transmission-based Transmission Scanner","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women with breast implants placed at least 6 months prior who are asymptomatic for implant rupture as well as those with known implant rupture\n* Female\n* Minimum of 18 years of age\n* Able to provide informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding\n* Women with active breast infections\n* Women with nipple piercings (unless removed prior to scanning)\n* Women with implanted electronic device\n* Women with physical limitations that prevent them from placing their breasts inside the scanner","FEMALE",{"count":49,"type":21},10,[51],"NA","The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether microwave scans can depict the presence of implants in the breast in women with existing breast implants that were surgically placed at least 6 months ago.

Moxie is a mixed media, self-management, education and support program for Albertans living with cardiovascular-related chronic conditions. Moxie is built upon our previous work within the ACCESS study (2015-21, n=4761), a RCT that previously tested the Moxie intervention in Alberta. Results demonstrated that MOXIE reduced the rate of hospitalizations (notably for hypertension, angina, hyper\u002Fhypoglycemia, heart failure decompensation, and acute kidney complications) by 34% in a population of low-income seniors living with cardiovascular-related chronic conditions.\n\nHowever, before Moxie can be effectively implemented province-wide, another trial is necessary to determine whether benefits can be observed in a larger cohort of patients with cardiovascular-related chronic conditions recruited immediately after hospital discharge (n=9000). Furthermore, the effectiveness of the two components of the ACCESS trial intervention will be assessed individually:\n\n(a) The Moxie Program, a tailored health and disease education component developed by a user-experience-centric design process incorporating patients, behavioural scientists, disease specialists, health system administrators and marketing\u002Fadvertising professionals; and (b) the facilitated relay of clinical information to healthcare providers (letters).\n\nThe trial is designed as a 2x2 factorial pragmatic, individual-level randomized pragmatic trial of these different interventions. This would yield the following groups:\n\n1. Moxie SMES Program\n2. Facilitated Relay\n3. Moxie SMES Program and Facilitated Relay\n4.

These messages will be refined by the social impact creative design partner and reviewed by clinicians and patients to ensure clinical safety and appropriate tone. Weekly mailers will encourage participants to enroll and consent to participate in the digital program by scanning a QR code or accessing a website where they will sign up for their own personalized Moxie mobile health app, complete a digital consent form and opt-in for electronic delivery of Moxie messages.\n\nFacilitated relay intervention: Participants allocated to this intervention will receive letters by mail, one addressed to them, one to their primary care provider, and one to their pharmacist. The letters will not be sent to their primary care provider directly; rather, they will be sent to patients who will be encouraged to take them to their primary care provider and pharmacist should they decide to do so. We hope this will empower patients to start discussions with their healthcare providers. This also supports patient autonomy by enabling patients to decide whether they want to take them to their provider or not. If for whatever reason they do not feel that this is going to be beneficial or of interest, they are not required to do so. The letter would contain a note to the patient's healthcare provider stating that their patient is at-risk of cardiovascular disease and that evidence has shown that the pharmacotherapy is effective in improving outcomes for patients similar to the participant.\n\nThe primary outcome is readmission for cardiovascular-specific ambulatory care-sensitive conditions (ACSC) based on the most responsible diagnosis listed in CIHI Discharge Abstract Database-(DAD), using established algorithms within 12 months from randomization.

The impact of POTS is more far-reaching than postural tachycardia.

It can reduce postural tachycardia by increasing the parasympathetic (PNS) and decreasing sympathetic (SNS) tone. In patients undergoing vagus nerve stimulation for various indications, an increase in PNS tone has been associated with improved middle cerebral artery velocity (MCAv) at rest and during cognitive stress. aVNT has been associated with improved cerebral blood flow and reduced infarct size in an experimental model of ischemic stroke, suggesting similar improvements in cerebral autoregulation in POTS. Vagus nerve stimulation has also been linked to improved cognitive function. The anti-inflammatory effect and improved endothelial function might improve cerebral blood flow regulation and cognitive function. The anti-inflammatory effects of aVNT may improve postural hemodynamics, reduce postural tachycardia, relieve other POTS symptoms, and improve quality of life (QoL).
