Brain stimulation for Parkinson's tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses mild electrical stimulation on the brain to see if it can reduce hand tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. It's a non-invasive treatment option that may help improve hand control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are able to give written consent to participate.
- You do not have other brain or nerve conditions like stroke, epilepsy, or a major mental health disorder.
- You do not have a pacemaker or any metal implants in your body.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help improve movement and reduce fatigue in people with Parkinson's disease. It's an option for those who are not using deep brain stimulation and don't have certain other health conditions.
This study tests a new way to adjust deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. It focuses on people who still have at least mild tremor after their DBS device has been in place for three months or more, to see if targeting specific brain connections can help improve tremor control.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using electrical currents applied through the scalp) aimed at the subthalamic nucleus—a brain region involved in movement control—to help reduce both movement-related symptoms (like tremor and stiffness) and non-movement symptoms (like mood and sleep problems) in people with Parkinson's disease.
This trial compares two ways to place electrodes in the brain to reduce tremors. It may help people with Parkinson's disease whose main symptom is shaking.
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation to the skin (called sensory electrical stimulation) can help reduce resting tremors in people with Parkinson's disease. Resting tremors are shaking that happens when your muscles are relaxed, like when your hands are in your lap.
