Glove use for hand tremor in essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether wearing a special glove can reduce day-to-day problems caused by essential tremor, especially hand shaking during tasks like drinking. You may be eligible if your tremor affects your ability to do daily activities and you can follow study instructions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Have a clinician diagnosis of essential tremor
- Your hand tremor (or mainly your hand/forearm tremor) makes you spill water when drinking
- Have stable tremor-related medications during the study (no recent changes)
- Not have another likely cause of tremor, like Parkinson’s disease or medication-related tremor
- Able to wear the glove safely (no hand/forearm injuries or skin problems that prevent wearing it)

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.
This trial is testing whether a device that gently stimulates the nerves in your arm (called non-invasive neuromodulation) can safely reduce hand tremors over a long period. It might help with activities like eating, writing, or dressing.
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.
This study tests a wrist-worn device that uses gentle mechanical stimulation to help control hand tremors caused by essential tremor or Parkinson's disease. You use the device at home and report how well it works for you.
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.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tTIS to help reduce the shaking associated with essential tremor. Researchers want to see if this approach can improve hand control and quality of life for people with this condition.
