Active stimulation group Sham stimluation group
"Participants are randomly assigned to either treatment group or sham group for application of transcranial low intensity focused ultrasound stimulation. For sham group, transducer is surrounded by rubber band in order to block the transmission of ultrasonic wave.~Before initiating transcranial low intensity focused ultrasonic stimulation, in order to identify anatomical structure of the brain, Brain Magnetic Resonance Image(MRI) and Computer Tomography(CT) will be taken. For image coordination, multi-modal stick(fiducial marker, PinPoint) will be attached to the participant.~With acquired brain images of the participant, researchers identify participant's dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(DLPFC) region, and design focused ultrasound focus targeting, image-guidance method.~The treatment is started by targeting left DLPFC region according to assigned groups. Both the treatment and sham group will be under procedure for 2 weeks, 3 times a week."
