Repetitive TMS for essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of essential tremor by a specialist.
- You cannot have metal implants in your body, like a pacemaker or metal clips.
- You cannot have other brain conditions, such as a brain tumor, epilepsy, or dementia in your family.
- You must not have had any brain surgery in the past.
- You need to be able to sit still and cooperate during the treatment sessions.

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 study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (given as pulses to two brain areas) to help reduce shaking from essential tremor. It is for people whose tremor hasn't improved enough with standard medications.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) to see if it can reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It is for people who are already candidates for a surgical treatment called MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy.
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 new type of brain stimulation called closed-loop TMS that automatically adjusts to help reduce tremor in people with Parkinson's disease or essential tremor. The goal is to see if this technology can better control shaking than standard treatments.
This study tests whether ultrasound waves applied to a part of the brain (the cerebellum) can safely affect brain activity. It involves healthy volunteers and people with essential tremor, a condition causing shaky hands, to see if this approach might help.
