%X Non-invasive ultrasound neuromodulation has experienced exponential growth in the neuroscientific literature, recently also including clinical studies and applications. However, clinical recommendations for the secure and effective application of ultrasound neuromodulation in pathological brains are currently lacking. Here, clinical experts with neuroscientific expertise in clinical brain stimulation and ultrasound neuromodulation present initial clinical recommendations for ultrasound neuromodulation with relevance for all ultrasound neuromodulation techniques. The recommendations start with methodological safety issues focusing on technical issues to avoid harm to the brain. This is followed by clinical safety issues focusing on important factors concerning pathological situations.
