What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating how different intensities of low-intensity ultrasound affect cardiac function in healthy adults. The study aims to answer how ultrasound influences heart rhythms and monitors any treatment-related adverse events. This research is conducted under ethical standards and approved by the Research Ethics Committee of ShanghaiTech University. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: minimal-intensity ultrasound below 2 W/cm², mild-intensity ultrasound below 3 W/cm², medium-intensity ultrasound below 5 W/cm², or no ultrasound application. The ultrasound is applied safely to the body, and the intensity levels differ among groups to assess their effects. During the study, participants will have their heart rhythms monitored by electrocardiogram for about an hour during and after the intervention. Researchers will observe any adverse events related to the treatment throughout the same period. The total involvement includes baseline measurements, intervention application, and immediate follow-up on the same day.
