OBJECTIVES: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS) is effective for treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD); however, DBS is associated with neurosurgical risks. Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) is a newer form of noninvasive (ie, nonsurgical) stimulation that can modulate deeper regions, such as the VC/VS. tFUS parameters have just begun to be studied and have often not been compared in the same participants. We explored the effects of three VC/VS tFUS protocols and an entorhinal cortex (ErC) tFUS session on the VC/VS and cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit (CSTC) in healthy individuals for later application to patients with OCD.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve individuals participated in a total of 48 sessions of tFUS in this exploratory multisite, within-subject parameter study. We collected resting-state, reward task, and arterial spin-labeled (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging scans before and after ErC tFUS and three VC/VS tFUS sessions with different pulse repetition frequencies (PRFs), pulse widths (PWs), and duty cycles (DCs).
RESULTS: VC/VS protocol A (PRF = 10 Hz, PW = 5 ms, 5% DC) was associated with increased putamen activation during a reward task (p = 0.003), and increased VC/VS resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) with the anterior cingulate cortex (p = 0.022) and orbitofrontal cortex (p = 0.004). VC/VS protocol C (PRF = 125 Hz, PW = 4 ms, 50% DC) was associated with decreased VC/VS rsFC with the putamen (p = 0.017), and increased VC/VS rsFC with the globus pallidus (p = 0.008). VC/VS protocol B (PRF = 125 Hz, PW = 0.4 ms, 5% DC) was not associated with changes in task-related CSTC activation or rsFC. None of the protocols affected CSTC ASL perfusion.
CONCLUSIONS: This study began to explore the multidimensional parameter space of an emerging form of noninvasive brain stimulation, tFUS. Our preliminary findings in a small sample suggest that VC/VS tFUS should continue to be investigated for future noninvasive treatment of OCD.
