Can a wrist device reduce hand tremors at home?
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a wrist-worn device that uses gentle mechanical stimulation to help control hand tremors caused by essential tremor or Parkinson's disease. You use the device at home and report how well it works for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease.
- Your hand tremor is moderate to severe (affects daily activities like holding a cup or writing).
- Your wrist measures between 6 and 8.1 inches around.
- Your medications have been stable for at least 30 days, and you can keep them the same during the study.
- You do not have skin problems (like psoriasis or eczema) on your wrist, or nerve damage in your arms or hands (like carpal tunnel or diabetic neuropathy).

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 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 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 tests a wearable device and a phone app to better track daily-life symptoms in people with essential tremor. It may help researchers understand how tremor changes during everyday tasks using video and audio recordings.
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.
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.
