7-Tesla brain MRI network study for deep brain stimulation tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at detailed brain imaging using a very strong MRI (7-Tesla) to understand brain network changes after deep brain stimulation for essential tremor. It may help improve how DBS works and how tremor can be better treated in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Have essential tremor that doctors consider “idiopathic” (no known cause)
- Have already had deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment
- Be able to give legal consent for yourself
- Have written informed consent

This study uses advanced brain imaging (7-Tesla MRI and MEG) to understand how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects brain networks in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. It helps doctors learn how DBS works so they can improve treatment in the future.
This study compares two ways of doing a deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure for people with essential tremor: using guidance while you are awake versus while you are asleep. It aims to find which approach is safer and works better for controlling disabling tremor.
This study collects information from adults with essential tremor who are getting deep brain stimulation under the hospital’s standard safety guidelines. It may help improve how this treatment is chosen and used for people with tremor over time.
This study looks at how brain “wiring” (connectivity) and brain function change over time in people with essential tremor after successful deep brain stimulation. You might benefit by helping researchers better understand what DBS does in the brain, which can improve care for others with 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.
This study tests a new way to use Deep Brain Stimulation (a device that sends tiny electrical pulses to parts of the brain controlling movement) for people with Essential Tremor. It is for those whose current stimulator is no longer working well, or who need a stimulator for the first time.
