Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06610877Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment for essential tremor
This trial tests if a focused ultrasound treatment can help people with essential tremor that hasn't improved with medication. It is designed for those already scheduled for a similar procedure using MRI guidance.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07599592RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Ultrasound Treatment for Essential Tremor
This early-stage study tests whether focused ultrasound waves can safely reduce hand tremors in people with essential tremor. The ultrasound is applied from outside the skin without surgery, and researchers want to see if it helps calm unwanted shaking.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07673107RecruitingPhase 2
Botulinum toxin injection for essential tremor of hands and arms
This trial tests an investigational botulinum toxin injection (AGN-151607-DP) to reduce shaking in the hands and arms caused by essential tremor. It is for adults who have been diagnosed with this condition and who do not have certain nerve or muscle disorders.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT04071847Recruiting
Study tracking results after Abbott deep brain stimulator surgery
This study follows people who are getting a new Abbott deep brain stimulator (DBS) device or replacing the battery/implantable pulse generator to see how outcomes change over time. It mainly applies to certain DBS targets and diagnoses, and it uses follow-up visits to track results.

Study of outcomes for people with deep brain stimulation
This study looks back at results for people who have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) or could get it. It aims to understand how DBS is used and what outcomes people experience.

What taking part in a essential tremor study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there essential tremor clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting essential tremor studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a essential tremor study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a essential tremor trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
