Enzyme Treatment for Essential Tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase to see if it can help reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It is for adults with a clear diagnosis of essential tremor in their dominant hand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with essential tremor by a neurologist or neurosurgeon.
- Your tremor in your dominant hand or arm is moderate to severe (score of 2 or more on a standard tremor scale).
- Your tremor medications have not changed in the last 30 days.
- You have had an MRI of your brain in the last 3 years that shows no other brain problems.
- You do not have other conditions that could cause tremor, like Parkinson's disease, or serious health problems like heart rhythm issues or epilepsy.

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 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 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.
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 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.
