Focused ultrasound treatment for essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment that uses focused ultrasound waves to precisely target and calm the brain area causing your tremor — no surgery or incisions needed. If your tremor isn't well controlled by medication, this treatment might help reduce shaking and improve daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 22 years old.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of essential tremor.
- Your tremor must not be well-controlled by medication and must significantly affect daily activities.
- You must not have other neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease.
- You must not have any metal implants or other reasons that make MRI unsafe for you.

This study tests whether a second focused ultrasound treatment on the other side of the brain can safely and effectively reduce tremor in people with essential tremor who already had one treatment. It's for those whose tremor is not well controlled by medication or previous treatments.
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 study uses a focused ultrasound treatment guided by MRI to calm hand tremors in people with essential tremor that hasn't responded to medication. It aims to improve daily life by reducing shaking without the need for surgery.
This trial tests if a focused ultrasound treatment can help people with essential tremor that hasn't improved with medication. It is designed for those already scheduled for a similar procedure using MRI guidance.
This study is testing a new way to treat essential tremor using focused ultrasound waves guided by MRI to target the part of the brain causing the tremor. The goal is to see if it can reduce tremor without invasive surgery.
This early-stage study tests whether focused ultrasound waves can safely reduce hand tremors in people with essential tremor. The ultrasound is applied from outside the skin without surgery, and researchers want to see if it helps calm unwanted shaking.
