Virtual reality for mood during focused ultrasound for essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if using virtual reality can improve your mood while you undergo a focused ultrasound procedure for essential tremor. If you are already scheduled for this treatment, you may be able to join.

This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment for essential tremor that uses MRI to guide sound waves to stop the shaking. It might help if other treatments haven't worked well enough.
This trial tests a noninvasive procedure that uses focused ultrasound waves to target a small area in the brain responsible for tremor. It may offer a new option for people with essential tremor whose symptoms are not well controlled by medication.
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.
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 study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound can improve both motor and non-motor symptoms of essential tremor. It is for people whose tremor is not well-controlled with medication and who are willing to undergo MRI and study visits.
This study tests whether virtual reality can help people with functional or essential tremor. You may join if you have one of these tremor types or are a healthy volunteer.
