    Let \(\Delta_{H^n}\) be the Kohn Laplacian on the Heisenberg group \(H^n\), and \(p < 1 + 2/n\). It is shown that classical bounded solution \(u\) of \(\Delta_{H^n}u + |u|^{p-1}u = 0\) in \(\mathbb R^{2n+1}\) with finite Morse index \(i(u)\) are such that \(u \in L^{p+1}(\mathbb R^{2n+1})\). As a consequence of this result, the authors deduce that \(u \equiv 0\) if one of the following conditions holds: (i) \(u(z) = O(|z|^{-2n}_{H^n})\) as \(|z|_{H_n} \to \infty\); (ii) \(\dfrac{(x,y,2t)\cdot \nabla u(z)}{|z|_{H^n}} \in L^2(\mathbb R^{2n+1})\); (iii) \(u \in L^{(p-1)q}(\mathbb R^{2n+1})\) for some \(q < n+1\).
