Wearable device study for people with essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable device and a phone app to better track daily-life symptoms in people with essential tremor. It may help researchers understand how tremor changes during everyday tasks using video and audio recordings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have essential tremor that is already being treated with DBS therapy at Mayo Clinic
- You can understand the study and follow its steps for the whole study
- You agree to do daily tasks in the BrainRISE app
- You consent to the study recording audio and video while you do those tasks
- You can use a smartphone (and manage study devices like a watch and tablet)

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 looks at computer “planning algorithms” for DBS surgery in people with essential tremor whose medication hasn’t helped enough. It may help doctors program the DBS system more accurately for better tremor control.
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 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 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.
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.
