Ultrasound treatment for essential tremor or Parkinson's tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive ultrasound method to reduce shaking (tremor) in people with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease. It may offer an alternative to medication or surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with essential tremor or Parkinson's disease.
- You do not have any other neurological condition (like multiple sclerosis or stroke).
- You do not have a family history of essential tremor or Parkinson's disease.
- You can undergo MRI scans and attend study sessions.

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 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 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 study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to stimulate a deep brain area and reduce hand tremors. It is for people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or dystonic tremor whose medications don't work well enough.
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.
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.
