Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07066358Recruiting
Treating essential tremor with focused heat to both sides of the brain
This trial tests a one-time procedure that uses heat to stop the brain cells causing tremor. It might help people with severe shaking that hasn't improved with medication.
Shinjuku-Ku, TokyoAges 20–70 - NCT07074002RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new drug for essential tremor
This trial tests a new study drug (BP1.4979) to see if it can reduce shaking in people with essential tremor. It's for people who have had arm tremors for at least 3 years and have not had surgery for tremor.
AmiensAges 18–85 - NCT07056348Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve movement in Parkinson's or tremor
This study tests brain stimulation in a region called VOP/VIM to see if it can improve motor function. It is for people with movement disorders who are already getting deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT07016425Recruiting
Testing a new brain stimulation for essential tremor
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called Temporal Interference can help reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It may offer a new way to calm hand shaking without surgery or medication.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 30–70 - NCT06993571Recruiting
Brain stimulation for Parkinson's tremor
This study uses mild electrical stimulation on the brain to see if it can reduce hand tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. It's a non-invasive treatment option that may help improve hand control.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06974916Recruiting
Tremor treatment study: focused ultrasound for both sides
This trial tests a second focused ultrasound treatment for people with essential tremor who have already had one side treated. It checks if treating the other side helps control tremors better.
TurkuAges 18 years+ - NCT06885541Recruiting
Measuring internal tremors in Parkinson's patients
This study uses a device on your body to detect internal tremors (tiny vibrations you may feel inside) in Parkinson's disease. It helps researchers understand these tremors better and compare them to people without Parkinson's.
Toulouse, OccitanieAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06331052Recruiting
Testing a new focused ultrasound treatment for essential tremor
This study is testing a new way to treat essential tremor using focused ultrasound waves guided by MRI to target the part of the brain causing the tremor. The goal is to see if it can reduce tremor without invasive surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 22 years+ - NCT06293638Recruiting
Brain changes during deep brain stimulation for essential tremor
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with essential tremor (ET). The goal is to understand the brain changes that happen during DBS treatment, which may help improve the therapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 30–80 - NCT05943652Recruiting
Study of how functional overlay affects movement disorders
This study looks at movement disorders that are functional (not caused by damage to the nervous system) or non-functional, and how a “functional overlay” may change symptoms. It is observational, meaning it does not test a new treatment, but it may help researchers better understand these differences and improve care.
Graz, StyriaAges 18–18 - NCT05976074Enrolling by invitation
