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 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 a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) to see if it can reduce tremors in people with essential tremor. It is for people who are already candidates for a surgical treatment called MRI-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy.
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 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 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.
