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 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 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 study tests a special glove designed to reduce hand shaking in people with essential tremor. It may help you feel steadier with daily tasks like drinking.
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.
