I believe it is somewhat similar, yes. But the idea behind LIPUS is stimulating microtubules rather than breaking down amyloids.
Ultrasound is also increasingly being used and studied for ALS and Parkinson's, and it's suitable for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) among other organs.
Ultrasound doesn’t seem to be work on my aunt for Parkinson’s unfortunately
That's unfortunate. I have personal experience with using it for dementia with growing success for my mother, red light therapy + ultrasound in combination. One family member who is suffering from Parkinson's has been reluctant to try it despite no downsides or risks, so I can't even anecdotally corroborate the claim.
Wouldn't the vibrations possibly destroy or loosen the plaques?
