Circadian-adjusted deep brain stimulation for essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether adjusting the timing of your deep brain stimulation (DBS) based on your body's natural daily rhythms can better control essential tremor. If you have a Medtronic Percept DBS device, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have essential tremor confirmed by a movement disorder specialist.
- You must have a Medtronic Percept DBS device implanted in your brain, and it must be turned on and helping your tremor.
- Your DBS must be set to allow continuous brain sensing (ask your doctor).
- You must be between 21 and 89 years old.
- You must be able to follow the study schedule and give informed consent.

This trial tests an upgraded deep brain stimulation (DBS) system that can “sense” tremor and adjust treatment in a loop. It’s designed for people with severe essential tremor whose tremor is still disabling despite standard DBS and medication.
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.
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 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 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.
