It targets a different brain area to see if it can reduce shaking and improve daily activities.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT06378619Recruiting
Using a tap test and spiral drawing to diagnose tremors
This study uses a simple tapping test and drawing a spiral (like on paper) to tell the difference between tremors caused by Parkinson's disease and essential tremor. It may help you get a more accurate diagnosis without extra procedures.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 45–79 - NCT06676501Enrolling by invitation
Second side focused ultrasound for essential tremor
This study tests whether a second focused ultrasound treatment on the other side of the brain can safely and effectively reduce tremor in people with essential tremor who already had one treatment. It's for those whose tremor is not well controlled by medication or previous treatments.
BeijingAges 22 years+ - NCT06349538Enrolling by invitation
Essential tremor subtypes and progression markers study
This study looks for biological markers to better understand different types of essential tremor and how the condition changes over time. It may help identify who has which subtype and predict disease progression.
Graz, AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05897775RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new deep brain stimulator approach for essential tremor
This Phase 1 study tests a coordinated reset deep brain stimulation program for people with essential tremor. It may help reduce tremor symptoms using a specific implanted brain-stimulation device, along with special high-strength MRI and CT imaging before and after surgery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21 years+ - NCT04991831Recruiting
Registry study for Exablate thalamotomy in tremor-dominant Parkinson’s
This study follows people who are getting an Exablate procedure to treat medication-resistant, tremor-dominant Parkinson’s. It aims to track safety and outcomes in real-world care after the treatment is approved.
Miami, FloridaAges 30–99 - NCT03136341RecruitingPhase 4
Dysport injections for task-specific hand tremor
This study tests whether injections of botulinum toxin (Dysport) can help people whose hand tremor only happens when they try to do specific tasks, like pouring a drink or eating. If you qualify, you would receive injections and be monitored to see if your tremor improves.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT04748640RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Gamma Knife treatment for both-sided essential tremor
This study tests a focused radiation procedure (Gamma Knife) to treat the opposite side of the tremor in people with essential tremor. It may help improve tremor-related quality of life if your side that wasn’t treated before is still causing problems.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03832712Recruiting
Study for adults with essential tremor not helped by beta blockers
This trial looks at people with essential tremor (a shaking condition) whose usual medicine—beta blockers—didn’t work well or couldn’t be tolerated. The goal is to test a treatment approach that may improve tremor control and daily function.
GothenburgAges 18–75 - NCT06145932Recruiting
Repetitive TMS for essential tremor
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) — a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to calm overactive brain cells — can help reduce shaking in people with essential tremor. If you have essential tremor and no metal implants or other brain conditions, you may be eligible to participate.
