Stereotactic radiosurgery for essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy (stereotactic radiosurgery) to treat essential tremor when medications don't work well enough. It aims to reduce shaking without the need for brain surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have essential tremor and other causes like Parkinson's disease have been ruled out.
- Your tremor is not well controlled with available medications.
- You are not eligible for or choose not to have deep brain stimulation surgery.
- You agree to take part in the study.

This trial tests whether precisely targeted radiation to the brain can reduce tremors in people whose symptoms are not controlled enough by medication. It may help those who prefer radiation over deep brain surgery options.
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 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 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 trial looks at people with essential tremor (a shaking condition) whose usual medicine—beta blockers—didn’t work well or couldn’t be tolerated. The goal is to test a treatment approach that may improve tremor control and daily function.
