New brain stimulation for Essential Tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 to 85 years old.
- You have Essential Tremor (shaking when you move your hands, head, or voice) for at least 3 years.
- You are either already using a brain stimulator that no longer works well, or you are ready to get a stimulator for the first time.
- Your tremor medication dose has not changed in the past 4 weeks.
- No Botox injections for tremor in the past 3 months.
- You are willing and able to follow the study procedures.

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 trial tests a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for people with severe tremor from essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, or cerebellar conditions who haven't improved with standard treatments. It targets a different brain area to see if it can reduce shaking and improve daily activities.
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 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 trial tests new ways to program a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device to help people whose essential tremor comes back shortly after standard programming.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation settings using brain imaging for people with essential tremor. It aims to improve symptom control by using MRI scans to guide programming of the implanted electrodes.
