Study of a new drug for essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of essential tremor, which means your arms shake when you hold them out or use them, and this has been going on for at least 3 years.
- Your tremor is not caused by another condition, like Parkinson's or a recent injury.
- You are not taking more than 3 medications for tremor.
- You have not had any surgery or procedure (like deep brain stimulation) for your tremor.

This study uses ultrasound to gently stimulate the brain’s cerebellum. It’s checking if this can improve symptoms for people with essential tremor (a shaking condition) or help us understand brain function in healthy volunteers.
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 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 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.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tTIS to help reduce the shaking associated with essential tremor. Researchers want to see if this approach can improve hand control and quality of life for people with this condition.
