Abstract
Nanomedicine, leveraging the unique properties of nanoparticles, has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases. Among various nanotechnological advancements, ultrasound-mediated drug delivery using micro- and nanobubbles offers promising solutions to overcome the blood-brain barrier (BBB), enhancing the precision and efficacy of therapeutic interventions. This review explores the principles, current clinical applications, challenges, and future directions of ultrasound-mediated drug delivery systems in treating stroke, brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and neuroinflammatory disorders. Additionally, ongoing clinical trials and potential advancements in this field are discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of the impact of nanomedicine on neurological diseases.
