ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Daily Pain IntensityPre-arm baseline through Days 6 to 7 after each 5-day treatment arm
Daily pain intensity will be measured using the Brief Pain Inventory pain intensity items. The daily pain intensity composite will be calculated as the mean of four 0 to 10 ratings: current pain, worst pain, least pain, and average pain over the past 24 hours. The primary analysis will compare within-participant change in daily pain intensity after focused PCM-guided CMN LIFU versus unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryChange in Pain Interference Measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Pain Interference SubscalePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Pain interference will be measured with the 7-item Pain Interference subscale of the Brief Pain Inventory, covering general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life over the past week. Each item is rated from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). The outcome is the mean of the 7 items (range 0-10). Higher scores indicate greater pain interference. Change is calculated as Day 7 minus the pre-arm baseline for each treatment condition.
SecondaryChange in Physical Function Measured by the PROMIS Physical Function Short Form 6b T-ScorePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Physical function will be measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form v2.0 Physical Function 6b, 6 items each scored 1 to 5 (raw score range 6 to 30). Item responses will be converted to a standardized T-score (U.S. general population mean 50, standard deviation 10). Higher scores indicate better physical function (better outcome). Change will be calculated from the pre-arm baseline to Day 7 of the same arm (approximately 2 days after the fifth session) and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryChange in Fatigue Measured by the PROMIS Fatigue Short Form 13a T-ScorePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Fatigue will be measured with the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Short Form v1.0 Fatigue 13a (FACIT-Fatigue), 13 items with a 7-day recall, each scored 1 to 5 (raw score range 13 to 65). Item responses will be converted to a standardized T-score (U.S. general population mean 50, standard deviation 10). Higher scores indicate more fatigue (worse outcome). Change will be calculated from the pre-arm baseline to Day 7 of the same arm (approximately 2 days after the fifth session) and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryChange in Insomnia Severity Measured by the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) Total ScorePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Insomnia severity will be measured with the 7-item Insomnia Severity Index, administered with a 7-day recall period. Each item is rated from 0 to 4, and the total score ranges from 0 to 28. Higher scores indicate more severe insomnia (worse outcome). Change will be calculated from the pre-arm baseline to Day 7 of the same arm (approximately 2 days after the fifth session) and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryChange in Depressive Symptoms Measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) Total ScorePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Depressive symptoms will be measured with the 8-item Patient Health Questionnaire- 8, which asks about the past 2 weeks. Each item is rated from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day), and the total score ranges from 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms (worse outcome). Change will be calculated from the pre-arm baseline to Day 7 of the same arm (approximately 2 days after the fifth session) and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryChange in Anxiety Symptoms Measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Total ScorePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Anxiety symptoms will be measured with the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale, which asks about the past 2 weeks. Each item is rated from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day), and the total score ranges from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate more severe anxiety symptoms (worse outcome). Change will be calculated from the pre-arm baseline to Day 7 of the same arm (approximately 2 days after the fifth session) and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryChange in Pain Catastrophizing Measured by the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) Total ScorePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Pain catastrophizing will be measured with the 13-item Pain Catastrophizing Scale. Each item is rated from 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time), and the total score ranges from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate greater pain catastrophizing (worse outcome). Change will be calculated from the pre-arm baseline to Day 7 of the same arm (approximately 2 days after the fifth session) and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryChange in Pain Vigilance Measured by the Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire (PVAQ) Total ScorePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Attention to pain will be measured with the 16-item Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire. Each item is rated from 0 (never) to 5 (always), with 2 items reverse-scored, and the total score ranges from 0 to 80. Higher scores indicate greater vigilance and awareness of pain (worse outcome). Change will be calculated from the pre-arm baseline to Day 7 of the same arm (approximately 2 days after the fifth session) and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryChange in Neuropathic Pain Symptoms Measured by the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) Total Intensity ScorePre-Arm 1 baseline, Day 7 of Arm 1, pre-Arm 2 baseline (after the 14 to 90 day washout), and Day 7 of Arm 2
Neuropathic pain symptoms will be measured with the Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory. The total intensity score is the sum of the 10 symptom descriptor items, each rated from 0 (none) to 10 (worst imaginable), giving a range of 0 to 100. The 2 items on duration and number of pain attacks are not part of the total score. Higher scores indicate more severe neuropathic pain symptoms (worse outcome). Change will be calculated from the pre-arm baseline to Day 7 of the same arm (approximately 2 days after the fifth session) and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryWithin-Session Change in Pain Intensity Measured by a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS)0 (pre-stimulation), 20, 40 and 60 minutes during each LIFU session on Days 1 to 5 of Arm 1 and Days 1 to 5 of Arm 2
Current pain will be rated on a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale, from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst pain imaginable), before stimulation (0 minutes) and at 20, 40 and 60 minutes of each LIFU session. Higher scores indicate more pain (worse outcome). Within-session change is the 60-minute rating minus the 0-minute rating (range -100 to 100 mm; negative values indicate pain reduction), averaged across the 5 sessions of each treatment arm and compared between focused CMN LIFU and unfocused control LIFU.
SecondaryRate of Enrollment (Participants Enrolled per Month)From the start of recruitment through enrollment of the final participant (target enrollment 80)Number of participants who sign informed consent divided by the number of months of active recruitment.
SecondaryPercentage of Randomized Participants Who Complete the StudyFrom randomization through Day 7 of Arm 2, an average of 4 to 6 months (up to 12 months)Percentage of randomized participants who complete both treatment arms and the Day 7 assessment after Arm 2.
SecondaryPercentage of Scheduled LIFU Sessions CompletedDays 1 to 5 of Arm 1 and Days 1 to 5 of Arm 2
Number of 60-minute LIFU sessions completed in full divided by the number of sessions scheduled (10 per randomized participant: 5 focused CMN LIFU and 5 unfocused control LIFU), expressed as a percentage and reported by condition.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Complete All 10 LIFU SessionsDays 1 to 5 of Arm 1 and Days 1 to 5 of Arm 2, up to 12 monthsNumber and percentage of randomized participants who complete all 5 sessions in both treatment arms.
SecondaryPercentage of Expected Daily Pain Diary Entries CompletedFrom the day after Visit 1 through the end of post-Arm 2 pain monitoring, an average of 4 to 6 months (up to 12 months)Number of completed daily Pain Diary entries (Brief Pain Inventory pain intensity items, 4 items) divided by the number of expected daily entries for each participant, expressed as a percentage.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With an Individualized PCM-Derived SCAN-Connected CMN TargetBaseline, after Visit 1 MRI processing (approximately 1 to 2 weeks after Visit 1)
Number of participants with usable baseline MRI for whom Precision Confidence Mapping identifies an individualized SCAN-connected centromedian nucleus (CMN) target. Participants without an individualized target may receive an atlas-based fallback target. The outcome reports the number of participants for whom an individualized target was successfully identified.
SecondaryAdverse Events and Device TolerabilityFrom consent through final post-treatment monitoring, up to 12 months per participant
Adverse events and tolerability will be assessed using pre-session and post-session symptom checklists, participant reports, and PI review of adverse event severity, seriousness, expectedness, and relatedness to study procedures.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Correctly Identify Their Treatment ConditionDay 5 of Arm 1 and Day 5 of Arm 2 (immediately after the fifth LIFU session)
At the end of the fifth session of each treatment arm, participants will be asked whether they believe they received focused or unfocused stimulation during that arm (focused, unfocused, or don't know). The number and percentage of participants whose guess matches their actual assignment will be reported separately for the focused CMN LIFU arm and the unfocused control LIFU arm.
OtherDistance Between the Individualized PCM-Derived CMN Target and the Atlas-Based CMN TargetBaseline (Visit 1 MRI, before Arm 1)
Euclidean distance, in millimeters, between each participant\'s individualized SCAN- connected centromedian nucleus (CMN) target identified by Precision Confidence Mapping and the probabilistic atlas-based CMN coordinate, measured in the participant\'s native T1-weighted MRI space.
