Stigma and tremor suppression in essential tremor
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how stigma (feeling embarrassed or judged) affects people with essential tremor who are planning to have a focused ultrasound procedure to reduce their tremor. It aims to understand feelings before and after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with essential tremor by a movement disorder specialist
- Your tremor is severe enough that you and your doctor agree a brain procedure could help
- You are able to give informed consent for the focused ultrasound thalamotomy procedure
- You agree to participate in this study about stigma related to essential tremor

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 second focused ultrasound treatment for people with essential tremor who have already had one side treated. It checks if treating the other side helps control tremors better.
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 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.
