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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is testing a new way to treat essential tremor using focused ultrasound waves guided by MRI to target the part of the brain causing the tremor. The goal is to see if it can reduce tremor without invasive surgery.
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 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 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 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.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to target the brain area causing tremors. It aims to improve both movement and non-movement symptoms, potentially offering relief without surgery.
