Summary/Abstract
Revolutionary technology that hopefully, if and when adopted, will place current treatment protocols for addiction and other certain neurodegenerative disorders in the historical archives. Even though patients were awake, they told us they didn't feel a thing. It all took a couple of hours and they went home when it was over. The three patients were given the treatments of ultrasound with infusion once a month over six months. The result: beta-amyloid plaque targeted with ultrasound were reduced 50% more than areas treated by infusion alone. Dr. Rezai shared the three patients' brain scans with us.
