Testing a new brain stimulation for essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 70 years old
- You have action tremor (shaking when moving) and/or postural tremor (shaking when holding a position) in one or both hands
- You have no history of mental illness
- You are willing to sign a consent form
- You do not have other neurological conditions like epilepsy
- You do not have metal implants in your body (like a brain or heart pacemaker)

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.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) to see if it can reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It is for people who are already candidates for a surgical treatment called MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy.
This trial is testing whether a device that gently stimulates the nerves in your arm (called non-invasive neuromodulation) can safely reduce hand tremors over a long period. It might help with activities like eating, writing, or dressing.
This study tests whether ultrasound waves applied to a part of the brain (the cerebellum) can safely affect brain activity. It involves healthy volunteers and people with essential tremor, a condition causing shaky hands, to see if this approach might help.
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 study drug (BP1.4979) to see if it can reduce shaking in people with essential tremor. It's for people who have had arm tremors for at least 3 years and have not had surgery for tremor.
